I don't think it was really a problem, just valgrind pointing out that I had
sent a pointer to an uninitialized "SDL_Event" struct... which was fine,
because mySDL_PollEvent() would fill it in.

Anyway, this one is moot, because I've given up on the idea of record/playback
in Tux Paint (for demo purposes).  I think it's easy enough to create a
video ('screencast') and if folks out there demoing Tux Paint want to have
an automated demo, they can do it using a video, rather than having Tux Paint
'play by itself.'
