It is said here http://code.google.com/intl/ru-RU/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/quick_start.html

that one should "Choose an appropriate panel type for" one's UI.

How this can be accomplished?

It all depends on your application layout. There is one RootPanel and you keep adding more panels and Widgets into it.

You can read about different panels at: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideUiPanels.html

Panels in GWT are much like their layout counterparts in other user interface libraries. The main difference is that GWT panels use HTML elements to lay out their child widgets. Panels contain widgets and other panels. They are used to define the layout of the user interface in the browser.

In GWT Designer choose Panel from Layouts and then you drop other child widgets inside (Buttons, Labels, etc).

The main panel is always RootPanel, which can be retrieved by RootPanel.get("");

What they are trying to say in the quick start guide is you should choose a panel to add to the RootPanel and start adding widgets in there.
