It may be Gnu Calculator, but I am fairly certain that it is Gtk 
Calculator... there are a lot of KDE programs that start with K, and a 
lot of Gnome(or Gtk) programs that start with G, but so do a lot of GNU 
programs (such as Gimp)
It is a silly naming convention people have used, but also can be fairly 
descriptive if you don't want to install a ton  of KDE stuff (for things 
that start with K), or a bunch of Gtk/Gnome stuff.

Lubuntu is (right now) a Gtk based desktop (LXDE), though an 
experimental Qt (the toolkit used by KDE) version is in the works right 
now :)
