But this will remove functionality:
In latex you can either
1) Set only the width (the height is chosen such that aspect ratio is kept)
2) Set only the height (the width is chosen such that aspect ratio is kept)
3) Set both width & height (aspect ratio is not kept)
4) Set both width & height and use the keepaspectratio options:
the image is scaled keeping the aspect ratio, such that neither of the two
dimensions is exceeded.
With your suggestion, 1 & 4 are not possible.
I think that in the current dialog, the name of the "keep aspect ratio" button
is misleading, because the aspect ratio is kept even if this button is not
pressed (namely, cases 1 & 2 above).
Perhaps it should be named "select minimum dimension".
Also, I think that that we should remove all the LyX-size buttons
(including the "Get LyX size"/"Get LaTeX size").
LyX should automatically compute the display size.
For rare occasions where this fails, we can provide a single "LyX view scale"
button, which will allow scaling the image on screen, relative to the size
computed by LyX (so default should be 100).

In my opinion, this should be removed completely.
Then we can move the "LyX view scale" to the "Extras" tab,
and delete the "LyX View" tab.
