Yes > - If yes, what's the cosmetic issue? Transparent regions of your images will appear in a kind of grey/blue in IE6 (everything's OK in IE7, the issue is only with IE6, and with transparent images) > - Should it be "we could revisit support for ie7" instead of "we could > revisit support for ie6"? No, the issue is only with IE6. For now, GWT treats IE6 and IE7 the same, so when it'll start to distinguish between them (without introducing a new user.agent value and permutation) it will be able (maybe) to generate specific code for IE6. For a workaround (using DD_BelatedPNG, which will modify the DOM by inserting an element just before every @sprite-d element), see http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3236#c6
