Don't think there's a simple tokenized query string parser in GWT. But you can get the raw query string by using:

String queryString = Window.Location.getQueryString();

Parse it any way you like. I use it like this to set debug flags etc.:

boolean debugMode = Window.Location.getQueryString().indexOf("debug=true") >= 0;

Note that changing values in the query part of the url (between the ? and the #) will reload the page. While changing the "hash part" of the url (anything after the #) will not reload the page. Which is why the com.google.gwt.user.client.History uses the hash part.
