Hey Ian. Thanks for your reply :) I don't absolutely need the widget stuff, no..
FWIW, I just tried out a very naive first attempt with a simple gwt app that just adds a button to the end of the page. I compiled it for cross-site access (<add-linker name="xs" /> in the .gwt.xml file), and embedding it in a test page on my computer, it seemed to work. But now, getting a firefox extension to add it to the page on a page load..the page just spins forever on a blank page. It'll momentarily load the right page, then 'redirect', almost, and show a blank page that's perpetually loading.. Not sure if there's a quick and easy answer to that one! Maybe I've missed another thing you have to do for embedding a gwt app into a page not hosted on the same domain.
