digiKam sidebar is based on a KDElibs component

Looking in code from Amarok, sidebar have been fully re-implemented from scratch...

KDELibs sidebar is not too improved than Amarok sidebar... 

I will not fork code from Amarok to digiKam. It's a waste of time. An integration of Amarok sidebar to KDELibs will be a better.

Sound like this point must be posted to Amarok team
