Need to address the back button situation when used for the start page #149

Right now the back button is not accessible for the start page; because the functionality required to implement the use of the back button is tied to the loading of the apps on the start page. This needs to be addressed.

On line 219 of MasterComposite we do a full refresh of the page if the user is using IE 7 when they navigate to the start page.

I spoke briefly with Anthony about the "why" behind this and my understanding is that Gadgets cannot be re-rendered after the user has already seen them without a full page refresh in Internet Explorer. The full page refresh blows away the GWT history stack, so the user loses their history in IE when they access this page.

We have ideas for workarounds, but they're non-trivial and will require some more investigation.

The back button does not work when clicking on a users name in the stream in IE 7. To reproduce, choose any name in this stream and click it. The back button will remain disabled, though you will get a changed URL (which I think is new). - (From user)
