I have windows XP computer with IE 7 and a Win2K computer with IE 6.02x or thereabouts.
The “fix” above only works on the computer with IE 7, so it is no better than just removing the
IE60Fixes.css file as suggested by Hal.

I guess that “[if IE 6]” may mean only IE 6.0 precisely (?).

Perhaps I need something like [If IE => 6 AND < 7]? I am not sure.

Nearly there, but not quite.

And after a lot of wailing and nashing of teeth (because the CSS was being cached, and I was not refreshing the cashe – be sure to use “Ctrl + F5″ to make sure that the CSS as well as the page are refreshed), the above seems to work for IE7 and I presume for IE6 too.

I currently don’t have any upcoming MediaWiki websites to develop. But when I do, I’ll likely develop a new clean skin that works for all A-Grade browsers and will share it to all.
