I've found screenshots illustrate the kinds of data that is managed by the 
app, so it's easy to point to a control and ask, "And how did you retrieve 
and store and organize the data shown in this widget?"  IOW, use the 
screenshots as a springboard into the innards of the program.  But then, I'm 
a GUI guy and approach design from the outside -> in.  I don't design the 
middle tiers before knowing the exact tasks the UI will be performing to 
manipulate them.  This way I optimize the middleware for the exact use and 
come up with a usable product.  So starting with screenshots is a completely 
natural way for me to work.  I know others approach it differently.
