Google Labs has some pretty neat stuff and the ability to bring up Google docs in gmail pane is one of them.
To enable this,sign into gmail and go to Settings on top right corner.
Select Labs and pick the gadget named Google Docs gadget.
Select Enable option.
Save the changes and return to inbox,there would be a pane showing your most recently viewed google documents as well as viewing all of them.
Cheers.
