You were right guys, all that was clumsy. I tried to fix that in 
revision #6789.

I removed the screenshot tool, and now the publish dialog have four options:

1) Keep the screenshot stored on the server.

2) Delete it.

3) Upload a new screenshot from the clipboard.

4) Upload a new screenshot from any file.

The screenshot is now automatically reduced and degraded to a jpeg file 
so that it does not take too much space.

Regards,
