I tried that, but it just seems to return the exact same surface that
set_mode returned. Here's a cut-down version:

import pygame
pygame.init()
print "pygame.display.Info():", pygame.display.Info()
screensurface = pygame.display.set_mode((800,600),pygame.RESIZABLE)
print "Surface dimensions returned:", screensurface.get_size()
print "Surface dimensions of display.get_surface():",
pygame.display.get_surface().get_size()
print "pygame.display.Info():\n", pygame.display.Info()
print "pygame.display.get_wm_info()\n:", pygame.display.get_wm_info()
print dir(pygame.display.get_wm_info()['display'])
while True:
    event = pygame.event.wait()
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
        break
    if event.type == pygame.VIDEORESIZE:
        print event
    if event.type == pygame.VIDEOEXPOSE:
        print event
    if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
        if event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
            break
pygame.quit()

This is what it shows when I run it:

weeble@dischord:~/py/textures$ python2.6 reduced_x_test.py
pygame.display.Info(): <VideoInfo(hw = 0, wm = 1,video_mem = 0
	     blit_hw = 0, blit_hw_CC = 0, blit_hw_A = 0,
	     blit_sw = 0, blit_sw_CC = 0, blit_sw_A = 0,
	     bitsize  = 32, bytesize = 4,
	     masks =  (16711680, 65280, 255, 0),
	     shifts = (16, 8, 0, 0),
	     losses =  (0, 0, 0, 8),
	     current_w = 1280, current_h = 800

However, despite what it says, its window is not 800x600. (Although I
do fully believe that the allocated surface bitmap is 800x600.) If I
now cause the window manager to shuffle the windows around and then
back again, it does get the resize events, printing the following:
<Event(16-VideoResize {'h': 748, 'w': 484, 'size': (484, 748)})>
<Event(16-VideoResize {'h': 373, 'w': 792, 'size': (792, 373)})>
These are completely correct. In my more elaborate original program I
used these to call set_mode again and everything worked fine. My
problem is just when I create the window in the first place and when I
switch from full-screen to a window. (Using set_mode. I've not tried
toggle_fullscreen because I'm aiming to have something
cross-platform.)

I'm running Pygame 1.8.1, Python 2.6 and Ubuntu 8.10 for x86_64.
