Hello. Thanks for your reply. I once tried to compile webkit with debugging support but there were some strange linking errors. So now I have a 'production build' and unfortunataly the debugger is useless. But I will try to make a debug build tomorrow again and report back if I'm successfull or paste the errors I got if I'm not.
