Thats not two problems, thats one. If the Pingus window (or full screen as
it is) looses focus then on regaining focus it exits. I found this when I
was testing Pingus (I may have even reported it when I said it builds on
Windows, although I can't remember if I did...). I think the solution to
this would be to run Pingus in a window, instead of full screen. I am
guessing that this is a single command line flag or constant. This used to
be the way it was done a while back, and it worked fine.
