It effectively means , assign a reference from the newly
created object to $window.
If you ommit it, you are getting a copy of that object. And,
due PHP4's nature, it's not the same object you had in the
constructor when you don't use &new.
It's asboluteyly required for PHP-GTK if you don't want to
run into all kind of troubles.
