I've done a patch to kdelibs today to make the code-completion use the full 
space at bottom until the end of the screen. Given that we waste quite a bit 
vertical space at the bottom, and there's usually a panel, isn't that enough 
room to show a completion list? Additionally you could open the code-browser 
and be fine ;-)

The problem about popping it up at the top is the argument-hints, where to 
move those then?
