Nice idea. It is an issue that needs improvement. I only have one suggestion. Instead of vertical writing, which as you say would take work to implement, perhaps the use of clear and appropriate icons might be easier to recognise in a hurry than writing turned on the side. I think this is important. Square icons would also use up much less screen real estate. Although it might take a little more effort to learn what the icons mean, I think the benefits would outweigh that. Also tooltips when you hover the mouse over them would certainly help to alleviate that possible problem.
