Right - the listener would have to be added to the stage, with a
callback on the pop up. The point is that, even without such a
listener, things eventually grow (albeit slowly).
Another interesting (and possibly related) case is when you add a weak
reference to track if something still exists. When I add and remove
dialogs, the first one seems to stay in existence forever, no matter
what (though the others go away just fine). This even happens if I
don't add it to the stage at all. All that needs to happen is the
TitleWindow must have a child, and I get this behavior.
