The 'y^x' button on gcalctool, with tooltip "y to the power of displayed
value", *actually* behaves like an 'x^y' button and calculates "the displayed
value to the y power". For example, 2 y^x 5 = displays 32, not 25.
I believe the current *functionality* is correct (that is, the most intuitive
way to use the calculator is to read the expression in normal reading order),
so it is the *label* (and tooltip) *not* the functionality, which should be
changed. But one way or another they should be made consistent.
Note that the other buttons reinforce the idea that 'x' is the
"displayed value", which means 'y' should be the "value entered after the
operator"; for example the "e^x", "10^x" and "x!" buttons operate immediately
on the displayed value and have tooltips stating "e to the power of displayed
value", "10 to the power of displayed value", and "factorial of displayed
value". This just shows that it's not *just* the tooltip which is incorrect.
