You are still thinking in the classical web development paradigm. You should start thinking web2.0 now! The concept of multiple pages and they linked with each other through form submits or hyper link clicks etc is gone now!
Now your entire application is a "module" with a single entry point and it loads in one single page. Once loaded every thing happen in that same page... popups, tabs, button clicks, hyperlinks, form submits, table render, data fetch, insert, updates, etc, etc all happens in that same page. However, as per gwt's philosophy you can break your application into multiple functional groups called modules. Modules will load in separate pages and can link to each other using classic hyperlinks or other methods. But for most purpose your entire application will be one page! With that said, there is no default back/ fwd or history related functionality build in your application as you are not navigating through data any more. To accomplish this behavior, gwt has provides "History" api. You can use the History api and events to simulate the back/fwd and bookmark functionality. It is a little tedious, but the good news is you get all the control over difficult to manipulate browser functions. I am sure you will learn these concepts through practice. Hope that helps!
