As long as I have a pointer to it the window object should be available,
otherwise the pointer would dangle.  That is, the collector should not
be allowed to reclaim that window object.

I think a window is live as long as it has an associated buffer.  After
a window has lost its buffer it's still a window but it cannot be on a
frame any more.
