Re: writing chrome extensions with GWT- need documentation or simple example

We'd like to support it, but there is actually a decent amount of work to make this a pleasant developer experience. Feature issue is being tracked here: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=5577

The Chrome extensions site (http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/
index.html) has some great documentation and examples of writing
Chrome Extensions in Javascript, but surprisingly, there's not a hint
as to how one might implement one using GWT.

So I downloaded the source to SpeedTracer, and extracted the relevant
pieces of code from com.google.chrome.crx.client. After lots of
guesswork, I was able to get a linker configured that generated a
manifest.json for me, and at least put an icon into the browser.

But I can't seem to figure out how to actually access the UI from GWT-
every time my Extension EntryPoint attempts to do anything useful I
get "\$wnd is undefined".

Is there a "Hello World" level example project somewhere that shows
how to correctly integrate GWT with the Chrome Extension wrapper found
in SpeedTracer?

Thanks
