GUI changes

[Andreas Meyer Berntsen]

I'm sorry, but I don't agree. The tabbed layout of amarok is compliant with
all the other KDE apps I use (both vertical and horizontal tabs).

My opinion is that the Amarok developers have actually listened to their users 
during the development cycle, and have landed perfectly in the land where it 
can fit both beginners as well as more advanced users. 

Moving the tabs to the bottom would just be confusing, at least for the 
general KDE user.
