You can adjust the aspect ratio.
(Oh, and ugliness is often just a being used to a different look. This
kind of irritation usually vanishes after a while, at which point the
old GUI starts to "feel ugly".)

Is suspect that OO triggered some bugs in the graphics driver.
Given the historical unwillingness of graphics card companies to publish
technical data about their cards, this isn't even the fault of the FOSS

nVidia follows, or whether nVidia will buy AMD. I sincerely hope not!)

Something must be awfully wrong with your installation. I never
encountered any of these problems.
