Ah, so when you bring up the inspector with a remote URL, do you actually use
any functionaliy of the inspector backend?

Do I understand correctly that the _use case_ behind this is that you have
WebKit running on a mobile platform, with the embedded web server enabled. Then
on your _desktop_ machine you take a QWebInspector, set the remote inspector
url to the address of the mobile device and fire up the inspector?

In that case, how much of QWebInspector is actually used? Or could you also
just point a QWebView to the remote url and it would work just as well?

Please elaborate and explain :), then it's easier for us to understand the API.
