It sounds as though you are referring to the change in Web Inspector.  The Web Inspector is new and improved since June (WWDC) of this year.

explains the situation.

Aber vieleicht habe ich dir einfach nicht verstanden.  Probierst du dein problem auf deutch zu erklären?

Ah.  Well, I don't have Windows XP to verify, so I'll let someone else test to see.

WebKitPreferences.plist is now the proper place to enable the Web Inspector.  I'm guessing you still have the WebKitDeveloperExtras key specified in Preferences.plist.  Try adding it to the new plist  (in C:\Documents and Settings\you\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\) - that should fix your issue.

Yes, setting WebKitDeveloperExtras in WebKitPreferences.plist works.

Still, shouldn't this be enabled by default in nightly build?

[Alexander Luck]

Yes, i have add this line in the WebKitPreferences.plist:

	<key>WebKitDeveloperExtras</key>
	<true/>

And it's work fine. But i think also the Webinspector should be enabled by default.
