You probably know that IE 6 is absolutely outdated and that you'll
have a lot of trouble making your ideas work on IE 6. That is - btw -
not a GWT problem, but a problem of any kind of stuff that should run
on IE 6. IE6 is just "evil".

GWT does an excellent jobs making cool things work on IE6. But still -
you'll have problems.

I would 1) Negotiate hard to drop IE 6 support or 2) Use ChromeFrame
to abstract IE6 away.

If you check out HtmlBoilerplate (http://html5boilerplate.com/) it is
really simple and does not need an admin account on the PC:
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1.0.2/CFInstall.min.js"></script>
<script>window.attachEvent("onload",function(){CFInstall.check({mode:"overlay"})})</script>
<![endif]-->
