This is your problem. The pygame display is not thread safe at all. It
can only be accessed from the program's primary thread. The different
display backends will expose different kinds of wierd problems with this
happens.

You are able to post new events from secondary threads, but only the
primary thread should call the event functions to get, clear, or pump
the queue.
