Vertical text is not natural to read. No way.

Comparing Okular and Amarok is unfair, given Amarok has lot more of other UI
elements scattered around, both on the left ans on the right.

Toolbox was the previous implementation, which has a number of usability issues
(no keyboard navigation, moving target areas for activating some pane, etc).

The current solution will stay for now, sorry.
