I find I need to pygame.event.pump() under windows as well, should I not 
have to? if I want updates after a reveal without me redrawing, that is.

This is a slight problem since I cannot currently get my mixture of pygame 
and wxpython to allow me to call pump, as it locks up randomly - I assume 
pygame and wxpython are fighting over windows messages and pygame looses.
Other than that it works great, and I can in my application live without 
the redraws (windows is rarely covered).
