Maybe disableNativeIME is called when the top level Window is disposed, and after that there are no more references to WInputMethod? In that case, it is safe to call it from finalize(), but it might not be as safe to call it from dispose(), which mighe be called before "WInputMethod.disableNativeIME"?
