I found a solution that may point to the problem. The following works:
Scheduler.get().scheduleDeferred(new Command() {
public void execute () {
RootLayoutPanel.get().forceLayout();
}
Previously, I was doing the forceLayout (at various levels) after
everything was built. That didn't work, but if I give JavaScript a chance
to catch up it does! Note that it also works if I forceLayout at a lower
level rather than the root.
I don't know if this is a hack simply indicating a different problem I
have, or if it is a worst-case / works-no-matter-what way to do it.
Hope this is helpful to others.
