Is there any way to control where pygame creates the game screen? It seems to always create it in the same general area but not in a consistent location.

Positioning of windows is not handled by the client application. It’s handled by the Window manager (metacity etc.).
The SDL library on which PyGame is based does have a few environment variables which can be used to give hints to the Window manager. These are hints which the WM may ignore but it’s the best you can do.
The comments over here have an example.
