bootstrap file is responsible for getting the whole party started -- it searches for pygwt:module meta tags, loads the corresponding nocache file in an iframe, which then loads the proper cache file (mozilla/safari/etc) and starts loading modules. when the whole thing is loaded, it calls the very first function to bootstrap the application. there is a module controller in that file that you can hook into, and an empty function called __pygwt_earlyuser ... this function will be called before anything else (essentially the very first thing done), giving you a chance to use raw javascript to create a bootsplash/etc ... whatever you want really. it was designed this way to avoid tons of options for minor changes -- simply add the custom code you want to the early user routine -- it's sort of like an initramfs in linux. -- C Anthony
