The backend don't support this scenario. Moreover, the UI is not designed to
display information from more than one page at the same time. The javascript
console would also cause problems.

Behind the scene, the web inspector is tightly bound to WebCore's page and is
not an independent API.

What we could do is to keep states like the current displayed tab within the
QWebInspector and re-set this value when we do a setPage on a different
QWebPage.
