Make sure you do it after initializing the video system; when that
happens, the event system is reinitialized and the event mask is reset.

I don't know why the event system is tied to the video system; I'd like
to be able to use SDL for joystick input without using it for video
on some archs.  (Windows has some (solvable) trouble with this, but Linux
doesn't.)
