           Summary: [GTK] Remote Web Inspector sometimes won't serve any
                    content
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Accessing the remote web inspector sometimes results in an empty page, as it won't serve any content.

With WebKit built but not installed, and the environment variable WEBKIT_INSPECTOR_SERVER pointing to a valid address (e.g. 127.0.0.1:2999), launch MiniBrowser and then try to access the access given from a different browser.

In my research, this is caused by the WebInspectorServerGtk not finding the needed resources in the expected path. It could probably be fixed by providing an environment variable (in the same fashion done in the InspectorClientGtk) so users can provide their own inspector resources. (Other, maybe more sophisticated, methods could try to guess where this content is stored).
