URL redirection from VF page to standard case console page

Hi,

I want to redirect my VF page to std console case object and pre poulate few case fields.
I was able to redirect it, but I case is not getting displayed in console (it is getting displayed in normal case detail page)
I am loosing console std layout - mainly I need the suggested articles in right side section (it is missing).

Can some one please help me with this?

Here is my VF page:

<apex:page standardController="case" extensions="redirecttoconsoletest" title="{!Case.CaseNumber}" >
<apex:detail subject="{!Case.ID}" relatedlist="true" inlineEdit="true"/>

 <apex:includeScript value="/support/console/28.0/integration.js"/>
   <A HREF="#" onClick="testOpenPrimaryTab();return false">
         Click here to open a new primary tab</A>   
        <script>
            var button;
            function disableButton()
            {
                button.disabled = true;
            }
            
        </script>
        
        <script type="text/javascript">  
        
      function testOpenPrimaryTab() {
            //Open a new primary tab with the salesforce.com home page in it
            sforce.console.openPrimaryTab(null, 'http://www.salesforce.com', false, 
                'salesforce', openSuccess, 'salesforceTab');
        }
        
        var openSuccess = function openSuccess(result) {
            //Report whether opening the new tab was successful
            if (result.success == true) {
                alert('Primary tab successfully opened');
            } else {
                alert('Primary tab cannot be opened');
            }
        };
                   
            function openNewCaseInSubTab() {            
                sforce.console.getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(openSubtab);
            }        
            var openSubtab = function openSubtab(result) {    
                var primaryTabId = result.id;
                var URLValue = "https://cs18.my.salesforce.com/ui/support/servicedesk/ServiceDeskPage#/"+{!NewCaseId}+"?isdtp=vw";
                alert("Value of the URLValue......"+URLValue);
                sforce.console.openSubtab(primaryTabId,'URLValue', true,'New Case', null, openSuccess, 'NewCaseSubtab');
            };        
            var openSuccess = function openSuccess(result) {
                if (result.success == true) {
                    alert('subtab successfully opened');
                } else {
                    alert('subtab cannot be opened');
                }
            };
        </script>

     insert newCase;
     newCaseId = '/'+newCase.Id;
 PageReference acctPage = new ApexPages.StandardController(newCase).view();
        acctPage.setRedirect(true);
        return acctPage;
   } catch (Exception e) {
        System.debug('*** Exception ***: ' + e);            
       }   
  return null;
 
  }
}
