Other's may have a different usage, but see below.

It's not required that the dialog asks *before* it's opened. It might
ask only when a new capture is really started.
I may add a "Capture" button to the capture options dialog, which will
ask this question and start the capture afterwards (just like "Ok" does
today). When pressing the "Ok" button,
the settings will be accepted and the dialog will be closed without
starting anything else.

Removing the capture option from that dialog would end up in the same
usability problems as before, but now "the other way round" for people
that must change options all the time (e.g. filename).

The icons are simply merged together from others :-)
After found the icon collection I use as a base now, it's much easier to
create new (IMHO good looking) icons. The GTK stock icons are only a
few, which limits it as a base for own creations (and my artistic skills
are really limited ;-).

Well, it was just working...
All the time I was aware that something could be improved here, but no
good idea how it *should* be (and I'm still thinking about it)...
