ok, i'm trying to make sure i understand what your code is trying
to do. to me it looks like the problem is you are setting the clip
area on the source surface, that's not right :]

you want to use Surface.set_clip() on the destination, then
blits/fills/draws can only happen inside that clipped area.
to me it looks like what you are trying to do is blit only
a portion of the source onto the destination. the Surface.blit()
function takes an optional third Rect argument which specifies a 
sub-region of the source to use in the blit.
