Correction to my earlier post:
Use PopupPanel, not AbsolutePanel.
I just tried this code in a class that extends DialogBox:
        @Override
        public void show() {
                mask.setPixelSize(Window.getClientWidth(), 
Window.getClientHeight
());
                mask.setPopupPosition(0, 0);
                mask.setWidget(new Label("test"));
                mask.setStyleName("trans-bg");
                mask.show();
                super.hide();
                super.show();
        }
        @Override
        public void hide() {
                mask.hide();
                super.hide();
        }

.trans-bg{
                background-color: black;
                filter: alpha(opacity=50);
                -moz-opacity: .5;

        }


And I am able to show a translucent background to any of my dialog
box!
