The thing is that pygame (or SDL?) switches the display to windowed mode 
if it loses focus, and it takes a few seconds for it to regain 
fullscreen mode (sometimes it doesn't regain it at all, in my experience).

So yes, it does lose focus, but when it regains focus, it's still in a 
windowed state, and for this the surface should not have flags 
containing pygame.FULLSCREEN.
