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.
