pygame is an interesting case in point of where a little bit of Sugar glue could go a long ways towards device interoperability. As was posted to this list earlier today, many pygame developers are hardcoding the screen resolution to 1200x900 (or 750, to account for the toolbar). This breaks their activities on non-OLPC-XO devices and it would be easy enough to change the habit to include a call to get the actual screen resolution, which can vary all over the place.
