[pygame] Display won't close gracefully

[Daniel McNeese <dgmcnees@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm reposting this, as my first attempt seems to have vanished.

When I use pygame.display.set_mode to create a game window, it refuses to 
close properly (it reads as "not responding").  This is even when using code 
straight from introductory tutorials or when having the program do nothing but 
end after invoking the command.  The screen will work fine up until I try to 
close it, though.

Can anyone tell me how to make the display shut down properly?  I'm using 
Windows XP, python 2.4.4 and pygame 1.7.1.

Thanks.
