Well, you should not need to shut your system down to kill it.
Try something like:

ps ax | grep python

to see if you can find the right process to kill. Then

kill -9 [process id]


To get back to no-FULLSCREEN, just start one of the games,
press [ESC] to bring up the configuration screen, click on
Full/ Window to go back to windowed mode, then click Save.


Or you could edit ~/.pygsear/config and make the
winfull = 1  to winfull = 0


At this point, that pygsear configuration file is shared by
all pygsear programs. I guess it would be a good idea to allow
each different program to have its own section, but I have
not worked on that.
