GWT back button browser

Question

For example current page is www.google.com. But I typed a different website address in address bar and clicked. This site has fully GWT code.

But I like to back to the previous page of www.google.com. So I clicked back button of browser.but how can I get event of back button from current GWT code. Can I set any backbutton event handler in GWT of current page? One which notifies an alert to me that back button was pressed.

Is there any solution from GWT?

+1 to Igor and Alex. Here's some code you can use, if you want to use the ClosingHandler:

    Window.addWindowClosingHandler(new Window.ClosingHandler() {

        @Override
        public void onWindowClosing(final ClosingEvent event) {
            event.setMessage("Don't you think my site is awesome?");
        }
    });

Some info from the Javadoc of ClosingHandler.onWindowClosing():

 /* Fired just before the browser window closes or navigates to a different
  * site. No user-interface may be displayed during shutdown. */
