Looks good, I will rebase it (we use GTK3 now) and push.

I don't think that this error is a consequence of not connecting the
visibility_notify_event or screen-changed event.  Looks more a
consequence of embedding the PyGame display in a GTK window, which
according to the PyGame documentation has side effects:

http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/display.html#pygame.display.init

"Be aware that there can be many strange side effects when running in
an embedded display."
