[opensuse] Display oddity when upgrading from 10.0 to 10.3

Hello, everyone. I am writing using my wife's account on the SuSE list.

I recently upgraded my desktop from 10.0 to 10.3 (clean install). Now
when I view images (for example, a powerpoint slide, or a .jpg) what
previously had displayed as a perfect rectangular landscape image
instead shows as almost a square (and in some cases actually is a
square).

The page size setting in Powerpoint is correctly set at the default and
I confirmed that it is the same as on another computer (SuSE 10.0) that
displays properly, so that's not the problem. I have looked everywhere
in Powerpoint and in Gwenview for a setting (e.g., aspect ratio) that
might be off but have not found anything that changes the aspect ratio
or any other setting so that what is now appearing as a square or
nearly a square will instead display as a proper rectangle.

I also looked at various images on my 10.0 laptop which displays
properly and copied those images to the 10.3 desktop. When viewed on
the desktop the image (e.g., a screen shot) is squished. :o(

Any ideas on how to get this 10.3 pooter to display images correctly?

Many thanks for your wise suggestions.
