IMHO state is best kept inside the GUI layer. This is exactly what the Spring guys are recommending. Wicket is a stateful component framework, so it is absolutely reasonable to keep the current state of the 'application transaction' (or UnitOfWork, or Conversation as JBoss-Seams calls it) associated with Wicket components. For me the Wicket pages are the perfect representations for application transactions - as long as you stay on a page, the Hibernate session is kept alive (although temporarily disconnected).
