It does, though not completely the same type. The Qt4 QDockWidgets can
be collapsed into a button.

That is already happening, AFAIK. KDevelop allows the style to define
how the "buttons" look like, so all you have to do is use a proper
style.

I'm not 100% (I don't know the simple-ideal code, it is adymo's code)
but I think this would mean you'd have to change Qt code.
