Things in the www-page behave differently from native widgets, they can be 
scaled, themed with CSS, JS can query their state, maybe even have layers
on top of them etc. I don't think it makes sense to try to implement them
with native widgets.  But maybe they can be themed to look closer to GEM
widgets?

Dialogs that JS pops up could be done with native widgets though.
