I finaly have some working code and a screenshot.

The main difference between The Digikam tagedit dialog and this one ist, that 
you can select and create Tags in one single diaglog with just typing in 
their names. To make tagging large image sets quite easy the tagging can be 
done with an autocompletion enabled textfield. 
As KimDaBa does not support hierachical tags like Digikam I added a dropdown 
to select the parent tags of the tags one wants to select.
As I'm completly new to kde programming don't expect to much from the code. I 
just wrote it for my self but maybe someone else is interested in this 
functionality and a more experienced coder can include this functionality 
into digikam one day.
Right now the dialog makes no changes to the database i.e. it is just 
readonly. I think I will add the writing of the tags at the weekend.
