 It would be nice if the set_mode method actually set the mode rather than
 just returning the current mode as set by the wrapper. Can it do this?

 <lincolnquirk> coderanger, could the pygame.display.set_mode method be
 hijacked in the wrapper to make it ask GTK for a resize first, then
 forward the resize onto Pygame?[[BR]]

 <coderanger> lincolnquirk: I tried that, but the pygame init is so slow
 that there is a noticeable jitter[[BR]]

 <coderanger> lincolnquirk: You could try to do some monkeying so that the
 eventbox pygame is painting in is realized but not visible[[BR]]

 <coderanger> it has to be shown (realized) before you can pull the window
 ID off it
