What I actually want is to be able to display primary editor with bottom 
panels on the left screen and auxiliary information (project/class tree and 
probably context help window) on the right screen because there isn't enough 
screen width for editor and opened sidebar (wide enough to fit a class tree 
without horizontal scrolling) on a non-widescreen monitor.
For now the solution looks like "move sidebar to the right and stretch qt 
creator window to be partially on second monitor".
Probably sidebar can be moved to a separate external using the same trick as 
Konstantin.
