Interesting! Your find inspired me to go look for some similar effect that
could be used to work around the problem, and I found it could be done trough
KDE's settings for the translucency effect.

By configuring general translucency settings for dialogs to something like 50%
I could see the game's directdraw area(?) trough the covering dialog-window. 

I settled for 50% because when I need to undo the workaround, it's not nice to
work with completely transparent dialogues. (And for diablo it only matters
while navigating the menu. YMMV for other games.)
