Then how about switching the two keys:

Alt disables snap to grid/guide
Shift keeps aspect ratio

This has the benefit of preserving shift as the keep aspect which is a defacto 
standard as I recall.

Also most people decide to disable snapping only in the final phase of 
placing. Hmm - what if you are fine tuning a placement then you would 
probably hold down the key before selecting. We could avoid a usability 
disaster by first snapping on first movement - KPresenter already does this 
iirc. 

I guess the same could be said the other way around.

thoughts?
