Actually, this is an option that could very well stay directly in the settings menu instead of the config dialog, because it's simply showing vas, hiding a UI elemement. Most other applications keep such options in the Settings or View menu. The settings dialog is usually reserved for settings on which changes are not immediately visible in the UI, just like "Show status bar". So please move it back to the Settings menu.

Can the sidebar be hidden until further pages are added?
