I don't see the point.  GWT is designed to run in a browser; if you
want to do a true desktop application, there are plenty of desktop
development systems that are much better.  C#, Java, Objective C...
They're a dime a dozen.

If all you're looking to do is get rid of the browser chrome and give
a GWT application full-control of the window, it's trivial to write a
C# (Windows) and Objective C (Mac) application that will do that.
Both C# and Objective C have browser widgets.  You can make the
browser widget fill up the window and then programmatically direct it
to a URL.  If you're ambitious, you can capture new window events, add
drop-down menus, ect.

Something to consider is that all of GWT's I/O needs to go to a web
server.  If you're trying to use GWT for something that will save
files to disk, use a local database, burn CDs, ect, you'll need to use
an embedded web server.  This is much more complicated then using a
true desktop development environment.
