What should be disconnect? Are you sure there is no javascript error
because of a missing function (maybe dispose not get executed at all).
Why do you think that it is not garbage collected? To use a widget
just for calculating text is to much overhead. One optimization would
be to use just one label and update the text each time. Dispose just
fix memory leak issues. It does not directly garbage collect them.
This mean dispose does not free your memory directly. It depends on
the browser.
Please take a look at _computeObjectNeededDimensions of the Label
widget implementation. Maybe you can implement your own custom way to
solve this locally - without a widget.
Hope this helps.

PS: BTW: getPreferredBoxWidth is not meant to be used by the user of
the API and is not mentioned in the API browser, too. With further
updates of qooxdoo the usage of such methods may break your code.
