How to use Safari 2 WebKit after installing Safari 3 Beta

Wouldn't selecting Safari 2.0.4 in the Debug->User Agent do the same thing and avoid a lot of messing around behind the scenes?

How to use Safari 2 WebKit after installing Safari 3 Beta

Unfortunately no, that just changes the user agent string, nothing else.

Safari 2, Safari 3, AND WebKit alongside.

This is a very good hint, thank you.
I have refined it a bit, as i wanted to be able to run Safari 3, Safari 2 AND WebKit.app.
1 - Copy Webkit.app to Safari2.app rather than rename it.
2 - Follow the step described in this page.
3 - Rename Safari.app (the old one you just restored) to Safar2.app (notice the name: the 2 REPLACE the ending i).
4 - Rename back Safari3.app to Safari.app
4 - With a binary editor, edit Safari2.app/Contents/MacOs/WebKit. Search for the sting "Safari.app" and replace to "Safar2.app".
Done.
Safari.app is Safari 3, Safari2.app is Safari 2, WebKit use Safari 3 GUI and feature with latest nightly.

I made a mistake while posting the preceding comment: it belongs to the main thread, not this one.
Sorry.
