we're very set against adding Yet More Buttons to KSnapshot. as you can see 
later in this thread people started asking for yet other options; besides 
uploading some people want image editting, filtering, etc ... soon KSnapshot 
becomes Krita+Digikam with snapshot capabilities. that's not the goal or 
purpose of KSnapshot, and certainly not the path to a nice GUI.

so ... how do we get what you want in there? well, this is why we added the 
"Open with.." button. right now it only shows applications, but this could 
(should, imho) be extended further to show other actions as well such as 
"Upload to Imageshack".

these other actions could be either hardcoded in (though i'm not a fan of that 
personally), based on .desktop files like konqi servicemenus (even using those 
directly?) or scripts (using Kross?) to give it amarok-like ability to be 
scripted.

the latter is my favourite concept.

usually you just send the patch to a mailing list and/or the maintainer. so .. 
you did ok =)
