Description
To have the dropdown menus work in IE6, please add son of suckerfish menus to the theme. These have been implemented in other themes, such as litejazz and pixture. I can help, but I wanted to make sure you are open to changing out the menu code.

#1
The code for Multiflex-3 is now cloning from suckerfish with some modification. Most logic are identical. You may compare the code for more idea.
The main different is: Multiflex-3 implementation is a purely CSS-based version. For sure that because I am not a big fans with JavaScript, but this also come with other consideration:
Long story short: If the changes can benefit for IE6 plus: 1. only PHP, HTML and CSS based, 2. not table based (original Multiflex-3 implementation) with conditional branch, and 3. not JavaScript based, please feel free to contribute and I will integrate them into next release.
Please understand that I am the only maintainer of this theme (at least right now) and so also need to consider the resource and effort required for maintain this theme in a high quality :S
#2
I have just created a csshover module which may or may not work with the menu implementation in this module.
While I agree with getting rid of IE6 as fast as possible, I do think some people won't be able to, such as those that are using locked down systems at work, so an alternative approach can sometimes be wanted.
