There is, but it isn't too serious: with NumLock off, Enter and the
operator keys on the numpad don't work in orpie when running in xterm
or mintty. That's because it doesn't seek to support the "application
keypad mode" keycodes. (But users will probably have NumLock on anyway
if they're gonna use the numpad in a calculator.)

I wasn't aware of it, but it does look rather good, with a pleasingly
high geek factor. And it's written in OCaml, what more could one want?
