[pygame] So close, but yet so far away.

[Ben Swartz <yoda@swartzfam.com>]

Eek, trying to install pygame is very hard. I installed python 2.3, and 
pygame. and when i try to run chimp.py the example and I get this error:
/usr/local/bin/python2.3 chimp.py
WARNING!  Running pygame apps from any method other than through 
python.app (aka through the finder or launchservices) is UNSUPPORTED!
           If you insist on using the terminal, type "open chimp.py", 
and hold down the option key if you need to
           specify additional command line arguments.  A dialog box will 
pop up and make you happy, I promise.

           I sure hope you ran as "/usr/local/bin/python2.3 chimp.py" 
exactly, otherwise you will really have problems.
           WindowServer doesn't like what you're doing as is, and it 
gets really funky if you run things from the path for whatever reason.
