I have never used pygame, but by looking at that backtrace I would
dare to say that olpcgames assumes that when _start is called your app
will be running the gtk+ event loop, which it may quit then run its
own kind of event loop.

Have you tried the pygtk tutorial? It may help you with some of the
basic concepts and terminology even if you mainly want to use pygames.
