To make it simple, we're using Apache's MultiViews with several copies
(not copies actually, as we have some "static HTML" that needs to be
translated): index.html.fr, index.html.en, etc.
And each page "loads" the appropriate locale using a <meta
name="gwt:property" content="locale=fr">
(see
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/1.6/DevGuideI18nAndA11y.html#DevGuideSpecifyingLocale
)
but you could achieve the same using some servlet or JSP as your host
page, and generating the appropriate <meta>; there's something about
it in the GWT Incubator IIRC:

the *.nocache.js also loads the stylesheet and javascript
dependencies, so it's a bit more than just selecting the appropriate
permutation.
Also, although you could determine the "browser type" on the server
side, you would have to make a choice when it comes to IE8, as it
could use either the ie6 or ie8 permutation depending on the
"documentMode".
