An averege user that resizes an image will expect that it will preserve the
aspect ratio. For an unknown reason openoffice decided that by default it is not
preserved, and to preserve it you have to keep shift (if I'm not wrong) pressed.
This thing is present in the ooo guide, but it is not enough. you can't ask
every user who want to do a basic operation to read the guide.

I have some proposals:
- by default preserve aspect ratio, like in other word processors
- by default show a tooltip when resizing: "hold shitf to preserve aspect ratio"

Also there's not a intuitive way to crop the image while resizing:
- add another shorcut to crop the image (for instance "crtl") and add a tooltip
for this too
- add a button which is enabled over the image after selecting it, which changes
the green "points" to red, so that when dragging them the image is cropped
instead of resized
