Should (Shift/Ctrl) + Dragging switch this behaviour temporarily then? What I mean is that if I select "Keep ratio" in the properties of an object and I want to resize without keeping the aspect ratio, I simply press that key combo and of course vice versa. If possible this should be shown on the status bar.

Shouldn't be too hard to have it default to "keep", if the image aspect ratio matches the image's preferred size aspect ratio (most, but not all, images contain that info).
