I invariably find that GWT doesn't do exactly what I need.  Too often,
however, I'm frustrated in my efforts to extend a class because too
many elements or methods are private (rather than protected) and such
private fields are not even exposed by getters and setters.

Please go through all of your code and change "private" to
"protected".  In the rare case where you really don't want someone
touching something (e.g. deprecated methods) that's fine, but think
ten times about having a private field without a getter/setter, or a
private method of any sort.  Such a situation should be very, very
rare in a toolkit that's meant to be extensible, and is obviously
limited in functionality and absolutely will require that the
programmer roll up his sleeves.
