A dead display is just what it sounds like, a display that is dead -
i.e. it won't show anything and will not respond to events. Dead
displays occur when your program stops running (in an IDE like IDLE or
similiar) and you forget to call pygame.display.quit() to clean it up.

A dead display is absolutely harmless, but it can be annoying to have
it since you cannot close it in a way you usually close windows.
