How about following:
------------------------------------------------------
Width [______] [u]
Height [______] [u]
[X] keep aspect ratio
------------------------------------------------------
You can do all 4 options now:
1) Enter Width, leave Height blank, [X] has no effect
2) Enter Height, leave Width blank, [X] has no effect
3) Enter Width and Height, do NOT check [X]
4) Enter Width and Height, do check [X]
Maybe better to disable [X] when one of Width/Height is left blank.
Something else instead of "keep aspect ratio", may be better.

Hmmm, imagine:
1) A large document; and I've choosen in the prefs to not display the graphs.
When typing text that is related to a particular graph, I would like to
display that graph temporarily, while typing/altering the text.
In this case, I would not want to touch the global preference for this.
2) creating a new graph; I want to set the size, clip bounding boxes etc.
until it looks okay; I must select to display this graph until I'm
done with the settings; after that I'll select "default", i.e. don't display.
These two useful cases need a separate setting for viewing each graph in LyX.
