there's a little voodoo to get it working, but many people have had no 
problems doing this with SDL and GTK in C. here's what it pretty much 
needs to by in pygame...



def embed_display(window_id):
    """initializes pygame into an embedded window.
       must be called before any of pygame is initialized"""

    #first, set the environment variables
    os.environ['SDL_WINDOWID'] = str(window_id)
    if sys.platform.startswith('win'): #disable directx
        os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'windib'

    #next, make it happen
    pygame.init()
    size = 100, 100 #doesn't really matter
    return pygame.display.set_mode(size)
