User input events are usually tied to windows so the events system and
the windowing system are usually tightly coupled. The windowing system
and the graphics system are also tightly coupled  because the
windowing system has to inform the graphics system where it is
permitted to draw on the screen, but they are not otherwise involved
with each other.

Seriously, looking at the SDL events list I don't see on that is from
the graphics system. I see one class from windows, and one from the
window manager, but none from the graphics system.
