back in the day ksnapshot had a horrific ui. thanks to a few people (nadeem, 
myself, some others i've certainly forgotten were involved from the usability 
team at the time) we cleaned it up. 2 revs of cleanups and the interface was 
ballanced and sleek.

then someone added a "copy to clipboard" button (maybe the print button 
also?) .. i was really not in favour of that change because once again it 
marched the interface down the road to being cluttered and difficult.

the print button is particularly dubious IMHO. how many times has that button 
been used? what even is the use case for it? for the few times someone wants 
to print a screenshot, can't they open it in an image editor? apparently not 
and now we have a yet more buttons in that dialog. believe me, interfaces 
degrade as you add more levers and switches to them.

if you want an "open with", open the application and drag the picture to it.

i'd also remove the Print button. i can see "Copy to Clipboard" since that's 
probably fairly common and not everyone will guess correctly that Ctrl+C 
works or that you can simply D'n'D.

but please, don't re-massacre this application.
