GWTCanvas IE: CanvasGradients do not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in what component (Widget/FAQ/Library):
GWTCanvas (1.5 Dec 28)

Detailed description:
If the canvas stroke style is set to a CanvasGradient, it will draw with
that gradient. This works in Firefox 3, Opera, and Safari.

In IE 6, all CanvasGradients appear solid black.

Workaround if you have one:

The docs, and demos should indicate that IE support for canvas gradients is 
unfinished and pending 
contributions from the community.

While we hate having incomplete API in the incubator, we felt that the 
partially completed code for the IE 
implementation was a useful beginning to getting gradients working, and worth 
committing to see if anyone 
could take it to completion.

I should have updated the javadoc to reflect that the gradient methods are 
unfinished for IE.

Docs are clear that IE is unsupported.  I filed this issue to give it 
visibility + a working test case to make it easier 
to work on.
