The values you set in Options dialog are your global preferences. So
if you start a new project, these are the values your projects will
get by default.

For snapping itself, it is important what is in your Snapping Options
dialog (or dock).

So they are not really leftovers. Maybe it would be good to add some
description text to the Options dialog to explain what the values are
good for.

Also, I think it would be good to move snapping options as another tab
to Project Properties dialog - to keep it together with other project
settings.
