Your create method is returning an Element - not an SVGPanel...

I'd personally start with a Widget (not a JavascriptObject) and use
GWT DOM methods (these will be optimised for each of the supported
browsers)... I have the same problem as you - going from a JS world to
a GWT/Java world sometimes seems (or is) over complicated...

Cheers,
Dave
