Thanks for this sbraheem.

For anyone else reading this who doesnt know how to access what sbraheem is
talking about (as I didnt) then just search your hard drive for the
gwt-user.jar file then simply copy it and rename it to gwt-user.jar.zip and
then open it with any zip browser and you can navigate down to
'com/google/gwt/user/UserAgent.gwt.xml' as stated by sbraheem.

For me (version 2.04) the available options are

ie6,ie8,gecko,gecko1_8,safari,opera

which is interesting because - whats happened to ie7? is it really not
supported? The answer is of course "NO" the ie6 option covers ie7 (but I had
to look at the code inside the XML file to find that out!) - Surely these
things should be part of the standard documentation somewhere shouldn't
they?


Also, this still doesn't answer the second part of the question, which is
what do these mean? or to put it another way "where are chrome and firefox?"

The following website does help a bit*
*http://www.useragentstring.com

and this is what seems like a very comprehensive list of mobile phone
user-agents:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_user_agents_for_mobile_phones

but gecko1_8 didnt seem to be FULLY mentioned anywhere, however looking at
http://www.useragentstring.com

I found that gecko1_8 seems to be Firefox prior to V2.1, and gecko
(presumably inferring v1.9) is for FF2.1 and above (although I notice that
FF4.0b3pre and FF4.0b4 are gecko v2.0)
Firefox 2.1

   - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.9.0.15)
   Gecko/2009101601 Firefox 2.1 (.NET CLR
3.5.30729)<http://www.useragentstring.com/Firefox2.1_id_15339.php>

Firefox 2.0b3

   - Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1)
   Gecko/20061110
Firefox/2.0b3<http://www.useragentstring.com/Firefox2.0b3_id_5760.php>


Hope this helps out other people asking the same questions. Anyone from
google fancy adding some of this information to the doc page at:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/FAQ_DebuggingAndCompiling.html#Can_I_speed_up_the_GWT_compiler?
