I chose a sidebar because it will allow real-time control. It only shows
when the user has >1 displays, and feels really intuitive, atleast in my
head.

Suppose the main okular window is on one display, and the user wants to see
a dashboard on the second display, and the slides on the third display.
If we add a sidebar to the main window, which has three buttons for each
display (slides, dashboard, nothing), we can provide a flexible and
intuitive control mechanism.
In addition, each fullscreen display (slideshow/dashboard) will have a
button to switch between the two modes, and there is already a button for
closing the widget.

We also provide some of these settings through the presentation config
dialog. What do you think should be added there?
