Currently the helper object is being created *after* IME handling instead of before. If the IME is enabled it's possible for the WindowContext to be deleted in the middle of executing a number of keyboard-related events.

This made the crash more reproducible and allowed me to test the fix. I did the same with GlassView since that's the only other Glass GTK class that's instantiated with `new` and discarded with `delete`.

Looks good.
