The console can be moved into any of the existing panes within the QGIS window, and it
will stay there until you move it out.
To turn the console into a window again, click on the title bar and drag it out of the QGIS
window. Alternatively, you can double-click on the console's title bar to switch between
having it as a standalone window or a docked pane.
This docking behavior can be annoying if you're working on a small screen, where you
can accidentally dock the console window while moving it out of the way so you can see
what is beneath it. Fortunately, since the QGIS Console is implemented in PyQt, you can
disable this quite easily by running the following Python code:
from console import console
from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt
console._console.setAllowedAreas(Qt.DockWidgetAreas(Qt.NoDockWidgetArea))
