i seem to remember a time when i was the project lead for the 
usability-team ;)

to summarize the thread in general:

 - a simple interface is the goal for this application
 - printing is a function that really doesn't belong in ksnapshot
 - if Open With is seen as a common task (it is at least much more common that 
printing or even copying to clipboard) to go in it should replace printing, 
should be a button with a drop down enumerating apps that match with 
a "Other..." option that opens the Open With dialog provided by 
KRun::displayOpenWithDialog
 - the Copy to Clipboard button should be examined more carefully and removed 
if Open With actually accomplishes the same task. in other words, one would 
have to come up with a use case that doesn't end up with the file open as a 
new document in an application, e.g. attached to an email (but that requires 
a file on disk anyways, so .... doesn't qualify). if no use cases come up, 
then that button should probably also be removed (though there's no harm in 
the key combo staying for those who know common keyboard shortcuts). 
personally, i can't think of any such use cases and lean towards removing 
that button as well.
