Jacek,
ROOT calls automatically TStyle::SetScreenFactor to get the same aspect
ratio
independently of the screen resolution.
However, I adapted and tested this algorithm only on 1280x1024 and
1024x800
devices. The aspect ratio affects the Postscript output unless you run
in batch mode.
I do not understand, however, why you get a different behaviour when
running
with the interpreter or the compiler.
