OpenSuSE 12.2 64-bit, KDE 4.8.5
The game opens a screen-sized window, but it is not actually flagged as fullscreen. This causes the bottom panel to be displayed above the window, hiding the bottom controls - including, for example, the 'Start campaign' button.
As a workaround, KDE's window manager is able to force window settings - with these, I was able to override the game window settings to force it into fullscreen mode like this:
- start the game and alt-tab away
- open KDE control center, select Window behavior / Window rules
- click New, click the detect button, click on the game's window and press OK.
- Go to the Size and position tab, enable the Fullscreen one and choose Force in the combo box
- OK/apply
- exit game and restart. Should now be properly fullscreen

Re: [Linux] fullscreen mode not working with KDE
You can add "sdl-fullscreen" to launch options, but then you lose the ability to ALT-TAB which is why I am not setting that method as the default.
If your method works, and you can still ALT-TAB, you're probably better off.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks!
