I should add that the latest "release" of the app is actually what you 
get in the zip archive linked from this blog post: 
http://blog.opengeo.org/2009/06/17/geoexplorer-preview/

This comes from the 0.1.x branch - not the trunk.

If you are trying out the app at the trunk, you can use more than one 
OWS.  I'll be making another tag for 0.2 in a few days.  This tag will 
come with some basic docs.
