This is a misconception about GWT. It gives you the tools to handle IE6 problems, but it doesn't completely protect you from all of IE6's problems. The built in widgets do a pretty good job at dealing with IE problems and the layout panels do promise to act the same on all browsers, but the regular panels don't. All non-layout panels and most widgets are just wrappers around html objects, wo you will have to deal with the same layout bugs you would have to with pure html and javascript. However, GWT does provide some really nice tools for dealing with these differences. Deferred binding can be used to substitute different implementing classes depending on the browser. This can be demonstrated best by the way Google handles ImageResource under the covers. For IE it creates a traditional sprite by slapping a bunch of images together to make one, however in FF it actually inlines the bitmap data into the javascript, so it looks like: <img src="data:..."/>. Also, CssResource now provides conditionality so that you can make the css different depending on the browser.
