I forgot to mention explicitly that I use the wxt by default. The 
demo ("colorbar", 25:26) 
gives consistent and correct results with 3.3.52+, gnuplot 4.4 patchlevel 0 
for wxt and x11 terminal on opensuse 11.2.
Whereas the example from the original post gives a nonsquare graph (but the 
colorbar looks right).
