An old thread I know, but I was doing some fiddling last night to get my machine to shutdown when selecting the shutdown option from the main menu. I had assumed the reason it wasn't shutting down was sudo related, but it turns out that the problem was pygame.quit(), commenting out this in osd.py meant the machine properly shutdown. pygame.quit() was not returning! I've had a quick google this morning and this appears not to be just a freevo problem I found a thread with a similar problem when using IDLE and pygame. Checking the pygame documentation, it says that pygame.quit() only needs to be called if the app wants to free pygame resources and continue, otherwise it will be called when the app exits. So do we really need to call pygame.quit()?
