Sure, no problem Scott. If you are looking at the source, I am using GWT Pages (http:// code.google.com/p/gwtpages/). It makes life easier when dealing with application messaging, history token management and page navigation.
One of the most important things to get working right at first IMHO is the history token management as that is what will allow the back button to work as it would in a more traditional web application. I'm currently working on the demo application and adding to the wiki docs but it is well javadoc'd.
