You likely are using Safari 1.3 with the Webkit from Safari 2.0. That
probably is not what you want.

Embed the WebKit framework in the application.

That will not make you run the older Webkit.

You could use a nightly build of Webkit for testing with a 3.0-ish

If you want exactly what is in
the beta, you might be able to grab the sources from svn and build it
yourself.
