This thread https://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?p=11385 would make it appear like it would be a very reasonable conclusion that this was expected behavior. There's even an environment variable mentioned `SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER`, which you can set to disable this behavior. You'd do that by exporting it or the command line before the executable, ie. `SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 ./script.py`. You might even add the variable in `os.environ` in your script before initializing pygame.display.

cheers!
