Yet another one more thing... a new Web Inspector! I installed the latest nightly but I couldn’t find the inspector (or work out how to turn on the debug menu). Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

You can access it from the debug menu - there's a good example of how to enable in both Windows and Mac here:

Seems to be something to do with having installed the 3.0 beta. I have the beta installed, and the recent nightly has the inspector. A friend doesn't, and his doesn't..
Aah, that explains it. I couldn't see the debug menu and assumed that meant it used a separate preference from the regular Safari one, but it turned out I hadn't run "defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1" on this machine yet.
I'm still not seeing it in the nightly though - looks like Tom's right and you need to install Safari 3.0, which I'm not willing to do just yet.
You can use the Webkit nightlies, just right click on the page and choose "Inspect Element". I have some screenshots of it on my blog in case you are interested http://alexander.kirk.at/2007/06/21/webkit-catchin g-up-with-firefox-and-firebug/

Aaahh, yes, that's it. For some reason, the installed version of the 'main' safari determines which menu the nightly displays. The 3.0 beta has the item under the debug menu, 2.x uses 'Inspect element'.
Right click and Inspect Element is working for me now - I ran "defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true" as well, but I'm not sure if it was working before I did that.
