john, wow, looking over the code here. this is a big problem.
there is a specific reason it was moved though. SDL now has pretty good 
support for running in an embedded window. for this to work properly the 
program must "hack" some environment variables before there is any sort 
of intiialization going on.

i can get this fixed by getting most of that initialization stuff back 
into the module init time, which really is a better place for it anyways.

i believe the biggest problem here is the fact that the quit time 
cleanup registering was moved to the "pygame.init()" function, so 
without calling that, things obviously didn't get cleaned up.

still, i never saw the problems you were experiencing. i guess i 
unsafely assumed everything was "ok" from that. i'll get things 
smartened up here right away.
