Well, I do not know when you throw exceptions, but for me exceptions in GUI
construction are unacceptable, because GUI construction is not meant to
handle user input or something like that.  I.e. if they happen, I have a
broken program and I do not care if it is a little more broken by leaking
memory.  In any case it must be fixed.
