yes its different on windows and linux, windows only has a few items
where linux has many more. 'window' is just the window 'id'  at any rate
which is not the data I am after (which is internally an address to an
xlib structure)
this is what pygame.display.get_wm_info() returns on linux:
{'fswindow': 31457283, 'wmwindow': 31457284, 'window': 31457294,
'lock_func': <PyCObject object at 0x89dfa70>, 'unlock_func': <PyCObject
object at 0x89dfa88>, 'display': <PyCObject object at 0x89dfa58>}

note how the display object is a PyCObject, thats got the address I want
 inside it.
