I successfully made Diablo flawlessly render the menu using the hacked
ddraw.dll and disabling the window manager controlling the windows and enabled
the emulation of a virtual desktop.

I had a blank screen that only rendered when I alt-tabbed to other applications
until I did those things but the ingame it worked fine.

However after doing these things I have to left-click once on the window to
catch it ingame and from there it is on top of the virtual desktop, running
perfectly. The menu now works perfectly from start. If I launch Diablo from
winefile I sometimes have to pull the window out of the way once I launch an
ingame session, and the left-click on the spot it occupied.

My best guess is that the window manager does not handle all games running
ddraw perfectly, leaving you with a blank screen. Using a hacked ddraw.dll,
disabling the window manager and emulating a virtual desktop seem to fix it for
Diablo, anyone up for trying it with other games?
