pygame.init() is bad

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the problem:
on Linux, closing the window causes an uninterruptible 'python.exe' process.
(the window will no longer display on re-run)

even when I was on Windows, I've had many problems using pygame.init()

the fix:
pygame.display.init()

this fixed a ton of issues with my program, 
and has even gotten a blank window to display on this issue.

update:
the blank window was caused by the uninterruptable process.
it works now.

confirmed!
the issue hasn't happened since.

in pyggel/view.py line 146 in init() change:

    pygame.init()

to:

    pygame.display.init()
    pygame.font.init()
