This isn't really true. You can add dock areas anywhere you want.

Depending on if the KDE menu bars use QT docking or KDE docking ( I am pretty 
sure the toolbars use the QT docking built into QMainWindow ) you could add a 
dock area using QDockArea to KDockWidget to add a dock area. 

Assuming I am right on the Qt docking we *could* add a QDockArea directly 
above below the slider in theory. I don't really support this though, IMO it 
is unneeded.

Note WIlliam that you are perfectly free to create your own chat window, 
Kopete's API makes it easy to plug new views in for the chat window, and it 
will probably be even easier in the future. There are already two such views.
