You are referring to freevo-1.x series? I suspect that the intention of pygame is that it runs full screen, as most games do. You can certainly position and size a surface. If you are trying to position the window then it is a function of the window manager and these usually have some functionality to do this. pygame is used to position a surface with in a window. Hopefully, I've understood your problem, but it's getting late...
