A DWT Hello World application looks like this:

void main ()
{
     auto display = new Display;
     auto shell = new Shell(display);
     shell.open();

     while (!shell.isDisposed)
         if (!display.readAndDispatch())
             display.sleep();

     display.dispose();
}

You always call "display.dispose" at the end of the main function. Since 
"dispose" will dispose all of the receiver's children and "display" is 
the top level widget, everything will be disposed when the application 
exits.
