As GTK+ is a C library it can't be exeption safe. C++ exeption cleans
up by unwinding the stack and call the destructor for all auto objects
that goes out of scoop. C hav no such featurs! You have to wrapp all
GTK resorses into C++ classes that cleans up on destruction to make
Your code exeption safe.

I do not know if GTK-- is exeption safe so I leave that to someone else
to answer.
