ksnapshot - no minimize button & region now shows black dimension dialog in top-left

Listmates,
I have 2 questions about the new ksnapshot (kde43beta1).
(1) There is no minimize button on the title bar. Is this a feature or is it
just my install? I have a screenshot of both the kde3 and kde4 ksnapshot
versions together and I can't explain why the kde3 app will minimize and the
kde4 app won't. Any ideas?
(59k, kde3 on left)

(2) The new ksnapshot gives you a read-out of the size of the "region" being
selected when selecting a region. Not only does it provide a bounding-box with
the dimensions displayed in the center, but it also provides a separate black
box in the top-left corner of the display giving you the same information. The
problem becomes grabbing a region in the top-left of the screen. You have no
way of moving the thing in the top-left corner to be able to see the detail
underneath it you want to get (or where you want to stop/start the grab). Is
there any way to turn the black box off? I don't need the same information
twice, I get it the first time.

no, there isn't. patches welcome, though i think it should probably just=20
disappear if the mouse enters that area.

Gwenview's new crop tool does it nicely, it just moves the on-screen dialog
somewhere else when it would be obstructed. Maybe something we could do for
KSnapshot as well?
