Unfortunately the added Lazarus layout options can not be removed any 
more, from TControl, TWinControl etc.  I just wonder what will come 
next, in an attempt to add more layout "features" to the LCL :-(

Currently the only chance, to disable all layout features, seems to be 
the use of an DockManager - which is not much more than a layout 
manager. The LCL developers missed that simple fact, and continue to add 
layout features to every single control, instead of letting the user 
choose layout managers from an (extensible) set of predefined layout 
managers.
