My controversial suggestion: keep the pie menu, but move from tap-and-hold to just tap. That means that, for example, the 5 button can't be dual-function (tap for 5, tap-and-hold for - + * /) -- you would have to move - + * / to its own button. There might be other buttons you'd need to re-arrange. However, I think the end result would be that you could make more use of the pie menus & save some screen space. I also think eliminating tap-and-hold would make the program more intuitive, but I realize that can be subjective.

Thanks for your cool and useful program!
In theory the hold is just for the menu to popup and you can just tap or drag to get all the functionality.

Unfortunately on Maemo this hasn't worked out so well as (its kind of flakey) compared to the desktop and has been a great annoyance to me.
