Yes, yes and YES ! ;) The lack of pure GWT widgets really does hurt, I
was hoping that some of the Wave stuff would be made available but
nothing appeared. The GWT incubator project provides a few useful
things, but progress does seem to be painfully slow - we need a few
more Googlers to commit some 20% time to a widget library.
