Thanks for the reply.  I noticed yesterday that the pygame build is
failing to compile on Fedora development repository.  Here is the
error:

src/display.c: In function 'get_wm_info':
src/display.c:416: error: 'SDL_SysWMinfo' has no member named 'info'

I asked about this on the Fedora mailing list and someone responded
with the fix of adding
-DSDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11 to the CFLAGS.

I'm not sure exactly why this is necessary, but I thought I would make
you aware of the problem.  Let me know if you need any more
information.

Thanks again!
