I don't have your post in front of me, but... IIRC, you seemed to be handling
only one event at a time.

e.g.:

  if (SDL_WaitEvent...

whereas handling all of them makes a lot more sense; you could end up 
getting a TON of events if you're not filtering out mouse-motion, for example.
So this might be better:

  while (SDL_WaitEvent...

and, of course, I'm kind of worried about infinite loops by pushing events
_back onto_ the event queue in response to _reading_ events, but again, I don't
have your code in front of me, and am not 100% sure what the point of your
code was, so apologies if my response is way off. ;)
