If you close a main-window, it deletes itself. This is impossible if it 
is allocated on the stack.

The first main-window is typically allocated in main(). (Or in 
newInstance()) However, the first doesn't need to be the last. For 
example: start application (window 1 gets opened),open second window, 
close window 1. So it's basically impossbile to make the one who creates
the window responsible for deleting it.
