It's slightly nasty, but does give a bit more future- and change-proof API.

So something like this perhaps:

/**
 * webkit_web_inspector_inspect:
 * @web_inspector: a #WebKitWebInspector
 * @inspector_panel: a string identifying the panel to show
 *
 * Activates the #WebKitWebInspector and switches it to the specified inspector
 * panel. The inspector is activated with the document node of the currently
 * focused or the main frame of the associated #WebKitWebView. If the panel
 * string is NULL or specifies an unkown panel, no switching will occur.
 *
 * Since: 1.1.6
 **/
void webkit_web_inspector_inspect(WebKitWebInspector *web_inspector,
                                  const gchar *inspector_panel)

followed by inspect_element(web_inspector, inspector_panel, dom_element) as
soon as the dom bindings are available.

If the above is ok, I'll redo the patch accordingly. Actually I started
already, but it's going to take few nights since someone forgot to add the 12
extra hours to a day so there's good time for feedback...
