Well, be sure event->window and otherwindow aren't the same, note that
it's broken if they are (you might kill event->window on the first
line).

It's probably pretty dangerous anyway; GDK/GTK certainly doesn't
expect you to do that, and you could break some assumptions of the
system. Also, the event may contain window-specific fields such as
coordinates.
