I mean that the main application top-level window (A), upon being closed,
makes another top-level window (B) disappear as well.

I've now managed to build a GDK_DELETE event structure (within the
"delete_event" callback of A) which I can send to B by feeding it into the
event loop using gdk_event_put(). This deletes window B good and proper;
all I now have to do is somehow keep the main loop from getting stopped
prematurely by the call to gtk_main_quit() which happens in A's "destroy"
event handler. I'll probably try the following loop:

    while (gtk_events_pending()) {
        gtk_main_iteration_do();
    }
    gtk_main_quit();
