If you're using DockLayoutPanel you're going to probably need to use
RootLayoutPanel.get().add(); - This means that it will take up the *whole*
page whereas if you use RootPanel.get("element").add(widget); it will grab
the div or whatever you're using element from the host html page.For my own layouts I usually set it up with HTML/CSS and use the RootPanel to display the given widgets. However, using DockLayoutPanel to take up the whole screen you can add g:east and g:west panels w/out any worry of CSS layout stuff. It's all just javascript.
