They are pretty much out-of-date, but you can also download the latest source package. Shutter is written in Perl so you don’t have to compile anything. I would recommend installing the official packages first in order to install the majority of Shutter’s dependencies automatically.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
The first thing is already fixed in trunk and will be part of the upcoming release (0.87):

Using the built-in drawing tool directly is not possible yet and I am not working on it. There is too much work that is more important currently. If someone else wants to do it, I am willing to help.
To all Ubuntu users: While having Shutter in the default installation is nice, I suggest that at least the heavy-users install it directly from the provided PPA (/faq-help/ppa-installation-guide/) – the version in standard Ubuntu is quite behind.
]]>Shutter remembers the last service/location that was used for uploading but a “1-click-export” is a nice idea, indeed. Thanks.
]]>It would just require one more config setting per ftp account – the base url.
The tool should then after the upload show/copy to clipboard the full www url (base url+image name) in the same fashion as with e.g. imagehack upload services.
And – of course – 1-click-export to the prefered service/location would be nice
