Edited Screenshot of the suggestion

Version:           0.12 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Currently, the navigation panel shows four icons in a vertical bar on the left
of the navigation panel. 

It would be nice if the icon bar could be rotated horizontally. 
(An edited screenshot of how it might look like is attached.)

This would make better use of screen space. Even though I am using a
widescreen, I often enlarge the navigation panel to be able to read the content
lines, bookmark titles or see the thumbnails in a meaningful resolution, but
then there is not enough space for the main document (there is never enough).

Rotating the icon bar would yield more horizontal space overall at the cost of
vertical space in the navigation bar only. I am arguing that the lost vertical
space is unused anyway, except for the thumbnail view (where it does not matter
that much in my opinion, as one can never see enough pages there anyway).

Thanks for considering my suggestion.

Reproducible: Always
