I was excited to see on Bob Ippolito's website that he has updated OS  
X pygame so it will run without either pythonw or being in an app  
bundle.  However, I found when running pygame (today's CVS) from fink  
python2.4, I got the following error:

---

I found this web page on the subject:

Which enabled me to fix the problem like this:
