Solution 1

Click on the gear in the lower right of the inspector. Check the Dock to right option. You may have to update to the beta/dev channel for the option to be available.

Update: The option is now in the lower left of the inspectors toolbar.

New toggle button for "dock to right"

Solution 2

Just wanted to tell that for Google Chrome 24 the dock to right have been moved to the bottom left. You have to hold down the icon.

Take a look at this chrome issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=154199

Solution 3

At the top right of the inspector, click the button with the three dots:

A subwindow will appear. There are three buttons beside the text "Dock side"; click on the third:

That's all.

    It's currently docked to the bottom of the browser.

    I know it can be split into a separate window, but I wanted it docked to the side of the browser instead.
