First off, extensions like Saft and Safari Extender are *completely
unsupported* and are more than likely the cause of the problem you're having,
which, honestly, I'm not even sure what that is.

Secondly, you don't "install" the Web Inspector.  The Web Inspector is
available through the nightly builds and in Safari 3 Beta.  The only way it can
be "installed" is if you install Safari 3 Beta, which still has the older,
HUD-style Inspector.  The newer Inspector is only available in the nightly
builds.

Running a WebKit nightly doesn't install anything or make any changes to your
system, so the next time you start Safari, it starts with whatever version is
installed on your system (ie: Safari 2.0.4 or Safari 3 Beta).  You'll have to
use the gold-rimmed, WebKit icon every time if you want to get the various
improvements that have been made since an official Safari release.

Remove Saft, Safari Extender and any other Safari extensions from your system
and see if you still have problems.  A list of the locations where extensions
live is available at <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/FAQ>.
