[glom/glom-1-16] Catch exceptions from std::locale::global().

[Murray Cumming <murrayc src gnome org>]

commit c9a7935d7660e3eb90134318a4ecb97215bb6121
Author: Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>
Date:   Tue Aug 10 14:38:54 2010 +0200

    Catch exceptions from std::locale::global().
    
    * glom/main.cc: Put a try/catch around the call to std::locale::global(),
      because it is throwing on at least one system under apparently normal
      circumstances.
      This should fix bug #619445 (teidooricaerak) or at least give us another clue.
