Ok, sorry about that. I have a second computer with F10 x86_64 and gcalctool. I tried it out this morning, and on this one gcalctool is "stuck" in degrees mode. So maybe the bug is that the mode cannot be changed, not that it sticks specifically to radians.
I was unable to reproduce this problem with gcalctool-5.26.2-1.fc11.i586. If you are still running Fedora 10, you should be able to update to gcalctool-5.24.3-1.fc10. Do you still experience the problem with that version? If so: if you move ~/.gconf/apps/gcalctool/%gconf.xml aside and then start gcalctool, does that help?
The problem is gone with the latest version of gcalctool. Thanks.
Excellent.
