You are right: some weak listeners remain, I did not want to re-write the whole
thing for a fear of introducing regression and to keep the changes to a minimum.
The second `ListenerHelper` (line 293) gets disconnected in dispose(), or when
the skin is collected (since the skin may not be explicitly uninstalled, but
instead the whole component or `Pane` might be removed from the scene and
discarded.
