Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/showregisters Values: true, false (true) Description: Whether to display the memory register window when Calculator starts. Resource: /schemes/apps/gcalctool/trigtype Values: Trig. type Description: The initial trigonometric type. Valid values are "DEG" (degrees), "GRAD" (grads), and "RAD" (radians). Any constants or functions that the user defines are also stored in the GConf database. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a accuracy Specifies the number of digits displayed after the numeric point. This value must be in the range 0 to 9. -D Enable debug mode. -E Enable debug mode in the multiple-precision arithmetic package. gnome-std-options Standard options available for use with most GNOME applications.
