I did not know of this limitation in KDE. (digikam is the only 
KDE app I use. It certainly is a great one by the way). Is there 
no option to compress?

No, I suppose not. My point was that it would be very useful for 
digikam to have multiple tools open (and close as needed) in the 
right panel using keystrokes (RT doesn't do that with keystrokes 
AFAIK, for example). If it wont work, c'est la vie.
