It is, but Jare said he's not pumping messages when this happens.  And
if you aren't pumping messages, then I know some versions of the OS will
decide you're "hung" and erase your window (signified by the "Not
Responding" added to the title bar of your window).  I didn't think it
happened to full-screen apps, but I don't know that for certain.

Does it only happen at startup, or anytime during the game?  Could it be
prompted by some other window trying to come to the foreground, like
ICQ/AIM/MSN?  What OS versions do you see it on?
