I don't know what server-side technology you use, but I guess there's something similar to Spring Mobile (http://www.springsource.org/spring-mobile) in any framework of your choice. That allows you to detect the user agent on the server side and serve the optimized version of the UI simply rendering the correct view (i.e. a different page, or a page including a different javascript). Mobile and "desktop" apps are simply included in different pages.
The GWT showcase uses a different approach, if I understood it correctly, serving the same javascript (in the same page, of course) to the client in both cases and then switching the view directly on the client (plus, code splitting optimizes performance so only the correct version is really downloaded). This can be used if your app is entirely GWT, but I guess it cannot handle a mobile UI built with a different technology like JQuery.
