I don't think this is a good idea. It will make the replacing workflow harder. 
One possibility to allow hiding the replace part would be to put it in a 
QToolBox. This allows for hiding it while leaving it on the Basic pane.

I have no ideas, This dialog seems so complicated that I edited it with an 
editor. As soon as I use Designer (4.2), the layout will be scrambled.
