I didn't want to put everything in the toolbar, because that would be way too much. Currently only the per-document snapping options are in the snap toolbar, and the prefs are not. Maybe we could just add a button to quickly open the preferences dialog, defaulting to the snapping tab? That would make them more easy to discover.
Hm, now I understand. Having the snapping prefs partially in the document and partially in the prefs is kind of messy. I think the "snap node nearest to cursor" could also be a per-document setting.
They used to be available in the document properties dialog, but it was difficult not make a mess of it using only checkboxes. Now we've got icons, we could use these in the document properties dialog too, but I do not like duplicating functionality (and code) unless really badly needed.
I think this could be taken care of using ToggleActions, which would avoid duplicating most of the code.
We could indeed use some better graphics here, I just chose one from stock. The cross (displayed after snapping) is not very noticeable either.
We could at least make the cross red, like the outline.
Also I noticed that you added tooltips that pop up when snapping - this is a very good idea, but there's some lag before they are displayed, and sometimes they aren't displayed at all. I hope there's some way to make them instantaneous.
