Yes, but name what() is a bit confusing here.

It was a silly mistake - I have exception handler that outputs all
messages from exceptions to a treeview (list). Usually I do
row[m_columns.message] = Glib::locale_to_utf8(e.what()) but it is not a
good idea for Glib::Exception and of course I should not call
Glib::locale_to_utf8() for them. It is not a big problem at all, but I've
spent some time to find out why some of error messages cause incorrect
display and Pango warnings :)
