As far as I remember, sdl has had various deficiencies regarding
fullscreen for ever. I think I once resigned over the fact that sdl
seemingly has no way whatsoever to handle differently sized/oriented
monitors in conjunction with FULLSCREEN. Reading up on the topic
online, it is suggested that the behavior will even vary across
operating systems and window managers.

Basically, I doubt the problem is a regression. Furthermore, I
strongly believe that no cause for the problem can be found anywhere
in pygame's source code. At most, we might consider reflecting
FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP in the Surface module.

cheers!
