ComplexPanel.insert(Widget, Element, int) throws exception if element arg is null

[GoogleCodeExporter]

GWT version: 1.4_RC2
GWT Tk version: 0.2.3
Browsers tested: n/a
Browsers affected: all

GWT 1.4 introduces a new method which provides control over insertion
index. The previous method no longer accepts a null element. I see no
workaround for Tk 0.2.3 except to avoid insertions. 

Affects BasicPanel.insert(Widget, int, int) and 
ExposedCellPanel.insertWidgetAt(Widget, int)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. launch asquare.gwt.tk.uitest.alertdialog.Demo in src/uitest
Result: 

[ERROR] Unable to load module entry point class
asquare.gwt.tk.uitest.alertdialog.client.Demo (see associated exception for
details)

Matt, could you elevate the priority of this issue?  ModalDialog doesn't work 
with
the latest GWT release:
