do you get what you want if you change the display resolution to match
the window? (see below)
----
import pygame
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,600), pygame.RESIZABLE)
while 1:
event = pygame.event.wait()
if event.type == pygame.VIDEORESIZE:
print event
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(event.size, pygame.RESIZABLE)
print pygame.display.get_surface()
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
break
