Hi Christoph,

I agree that it would be more convenient to have the snapping tolerance in 
pixels. 
One thing that I'm not sure about is if, in case of reprojected layers, the 
pixel_distance / layer_distance ratio is constant over the whole map view and 
in each direction. If it is not, then I think it will be problematic to 
specify the tolerance in pixels.

Regards,
Marco
