What about x48?

http://x48.berlios.de/

It gives you plenty of features and is of course rpn as it emulates an HP
calculator.

My home-built RPN calculator is here:

http://home.tallships.ca/mspencer/temp/calc

Perl script, runs in console, xterm or a shell buffer within
emacs. (In an emacs shell buffer, you can scroll back arbitrarily far
to see what you've done.)

Some but not all of the features you want. Has some features you
didn't mention. Might be useful. Caveats and further details in the
comments and help pages.

Will display the x register in hex but doesn't have a hexmode for
input. That could be added fairly easily if you hack simple perl.

Comes with Slackware. I first saw it circa 1989 on Athena, never liked
it. It is precisely why I cobbled up the perl script.

WYSIWYG, YMMV etc. etc.

Have a look at "grpn". It's a bit klunky by today's standards, but it
pretty much covers everything in your list (including complex
operations). The interface is pretty old-school, but if nothing else
fits the bill...

You can find it by searching for "grpn" at freshmeat.net.

I got a more than 10 (probably much more) years old Texas TI-25,
which still does everything I want, including octal and hex in-
and output.

The KDE calculator, kcalc, isn't bad either and it works well even
when you're not running KDE itself.
