--- Comment #2 from Adrian Perez <aperez at igalia.com> ---
Epiphany's incognito windows use ephemeral web contexts, and the
inspector works fine there.

I am not sure whether this would be the reason, but one difference
between the code you linked from Astroid and Epiphany is:

 - Epiphany uses g_object_new() to pass *both* the WebKitWebContext
   and the WebKitSettings objects at construction time.

 - Astroid uses webkit_web_view_new_with_context(), which sets the
   WebKitWebContext only at construction time. After the WebKitWebView
   has been constructed, later on it uses webkit_web_view_set_settings().

Could it be that for some reason some settings cannot are not being
applied correctly when the WebKitSettings is changed after construction
and the WebKitWebContext is ephemeral? If there is something inside
WebKit that prevents the second usage pattern, we should at least add
some notes to the API documentation.

I am adding Carlos García and Michael Catanzaro on CC, because they
might have some idea about this.
