As a random word of warning - windows point back & forth all over the
place, to both parent _and_ children; unless one uses weak pointers or
some other means of breaking cycles, this change would just exchange
crashes for leaks.

        The proposed means of breaking cycles is reasonably reliable: replace
all 'delete <Window derivative>' calls with a pWindow->dispose(); call -
that releases / clears those refs =)

        Of course, its a chunk of work too - particularly when looking for some
incremental approach to that.

        ATB,

                Michael.
