I don't see why you would need this. Whenever you use RootPanel is adds it directly to the document body. I suggest using firebug to debug this problem and check out the html directly. Make sure you or one of your inherited modules is not calling Window.enableScrolling(false);. RootLayoutPanel, from my understanding will give you the effect that you specified, but if you do not use layout panels you should not experience this issue. A VerticalPanel is essentially a one columned table. The html in firebug from calling RootPanel.get().add(new VerticalPanel()); should look like this:
