As I mentioned above, the proposed patch unveiled another problem, which I  
think it's unrelated, but not 100% sure. See below:

For some reason, even though the patch proposed above allows to start  
pingus normally even if the desired resolution does not match the desired  
one, the first time pingus is started the main window is misplaced: it's  
rendered with the right resolution (e.g. 1872x1053) but with (0, 0)  
coordinate placed offscreen, too far in the NW corner, as if it was not  
considering the overscan setting.

I spent some time trying to find a solution for this, but in the end I  
concluded that it's either an issue somewhere else deeper in pingus's  
engine, or even in SDL_SetVideoMode(), and could not figure out clearly  
where exactly the problem was.

Also, this is something that happens only the first time pingus is run with  
the mismatched resolution: if you exit the game and start again, the  
resolution will be fine again, same thing if you go to options and fiddle  
with the resolution settings during the first run.

I haven't filed any bug related to this because it's still not clear to me  
what the problem is. Perhaps someone with more knowledge about pingus  
and/or SDL will be able to better figure out what the problem is.
