I don't know how LittleSnapper is implemented, but you can use
TransformProcessType to bring yourself from LSUIElement-ness into
Dock-icon-having, full blown app status.  I imagine LittleSnapper
checks user defaults at launch and calls this function if
necessary—this would be the only way to implement this feature for
non-admin users who can't write to the app bundle.

(Also, don't forget about code signing.)
