I did a Google search and came up with this:

https://www.kde.org/applications/utilities/kcalc/

It doesn't seem to have the window you mention. 

Are  you sure that you are thinking of the right application?  Are you 
thinking of Gcalc as in Ubuntu?  I can't in a hurry find a screenshot of 
that.  But see this:  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Calculator

Again, not as you described.

I'll do some more searching later.
