The Allow Growing option was actually a quick hack to be able to release
GIMP 2.4, we never really wanted that checkbox in the first place. When
we discussed this back then we rather wanted the crop rectangle to
merely snap against the canvas edges but other than that not being
constrained.

Perhaps a better approach is to only crop the layers if 'Current layer
only' option is checked and then remove that option too when
auto-managed layer sizes is in place.
