Hi Michael,

There's no way (other than the standard Squeak or VW finalization
mechanisms) to tell when a component instance gets GCd.  However, I'd
recommend setting up such connections at the session level instead,
using a custom WASession subclass.  You can then override
#unregistered and put any clean up code there.

Cheers,
Avi
