This works nicely. Thank you all very much for the help.

But here's another question: How do I set a different size for the "0"
and "=" buttons? Repeater doesn't let me set a property differently
based on the index and, even if I try to put each button manually, the
grid layout gets screwed up. Even if I try to put, for instance, the
"0" button _outside_ the grid, it will make the whole column above it
wider.

Ideas?
