           Summary: Inspect Element can be chosen from the right-click menu
                    of a bg window, but the inspector doesn't appear
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: sullivan at apple.com


To reproduce:

1. With a Web Inspector-enabled copy of WebKit, right-click on a Safari window
when Safari is not the frontmost application
2. choose "Inspect Element"

A red ring appears in the content, but no inspector appears. It doesn't appear
because it's a panel that is automatically hidden when Safari isn't the
frontmost application.

You can't get a context menu with control-click for an inactive Safari window
(the click just activates that window). So probably the right fix here is to
not get a context menu with right-click for an inactive Safari window. But
perhaps there should also be code that knows that when Inspect Element is
chosen, Safari should be made the active application before the Inspector is
shown.
