Hi,
I don't understand why you need an intermediate (converted) surface. You
should be able to blit your palette surfaces directly to the display
surface. The convert method is for performance considerations only.
Blits are faster when the format of the source surface matches that of
the target. An intermediate surface is only useful for image
manipulation, such as adjusting alpha, or for multiple blits between
alterations.

That isnt the issue actually, I want to be able to use the palette
modification functions in pygame in 8-bit colour mode to alter colours
on surfaces, my workaround seems to work fine, I can even blit any
surface now, if I convert a blank surface and blit the unconverted
palette-swapped .gif onto it.

Palette surfaces blit to 24 bit or 32 bit surfaces without any
color changes. So unless the screen is set to 16 bit colors, there
will be no problem.

Okay, I think I have a workaround, if I don't .convert() any
images, and modify the palettes from the surface itself, it
seems to work fine, hopefully I can get unconverted surfaces
to blit properly though, it seems that sprites have no issues
blitting, its just plain surfaces which wont blit.
