gmailprofile-picture
I have two avatars in Gmail as you can see below:
I don't know why there are two avatars. I can change only the one in upper right corner. The one on the left has incorrect aspect ratio and I can't find the settings in Gmail to change it. I suppose it was uploaded by my employer.
I will be grateful for any advice how to change the left figure.
This was a Google Labs feature as documented here which no longer seems to exist. I tried looking up on Gmail > settings > labs and could not find it.
There is actually a way to display this very same Tasks gadget inside the sidebar, rather than an overlaid window.
Settings > Labs > Enable Add any gadget by URL
Go to Gadgets tab and enter the URL http://www.google.com/ig/modules/tasks.xml . Click Add.
Done!

If you have a Google + account, this can have adverse effects. The image uploaded to your G+ profile can appear on some, but not all services where your image appears.
If you upload an image to G+, then it'll appear in services like Calendar or Drive. But you can change the image in the Gmail settings as well and have this effect.
I suggest going into Gmail settings, remove your image, then go to your G+ profile and upload a new image. Everything should straighten out in 24 hours.
