In what situation do you want snapping to all layers? Now that it's 
possible in 0.9.2 to set snapping for indivual layers, I think the 
global snapping option is confusing and unnecessary.

This "greyed-out" business might again be confusing. How would a user 
know that the greyed out state means that global snapping is set?

In my opinion an individual setting for each layer, and no global 
snapping at all, best solves all situations with no complications for 
the user.
