Indeed, that's the other option. We can enable/disable snapping either using the nodes/bbox option, or using the grids/guides/objects option. The latter is more common, especially wanting to see the grid but not snapping to it. But shouldn't we then provide the same toggles for guides and objects, for consistency's sake?
Adding to my previous mail:
When using the grids/guides/objects option to toggle snapping, we will need an additional checkbox for each of those in the document properties dialog. (when requiring that all snapping options should be accessible in that dialog). This is not needed when using the nodes/bbox option, as we have checkboxes for these already.
summarizing our options: 1) nodes/bbox option: - no additional checkboxes needed
2) grids/guides/objects option: - closest to "grid visible but not snapping", which is the most requested feature,
