New About Window // dev phase 3-7.

- Fix an issue that the IME crashes when the first time the About window loads.
- Make sure the confirm button works even if the NSWindowButtons are not visible. Previously they were disabled, hindering the confirm button from being functional.
- Make sure the About Window always gets pushed to the front every time the user clicks the "about..." menu item.
- Attempt to let the About window dealloc correctly.
