So even if Mark&  Sweep wouldn't wipe it away, it would be an unreachable object that couldn't be used anymore by the program (because the program has sort of forgotten the address of the object).

No reference to its data is left but the destruction of the window is 
premature.  If the parent is incrementing a timer in the child widget, 
then the parent can't be destroyed before its child otherwise the timer 
will become inert.
