Exceptions in gtkmm

[Sohail Somani <sohail taggedtype net>]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to figure out the policy on exceptions in gtkmm. I notice 
that, Gtk::Pixbuf throws an exception if you give it a file that doesn't 
exist. I presume it converts some sort of error code to an exception.

What if one of my slots throws an exception? Is there a way to catch all 
such possible exceptions in one place so that I can report to the user?

The FAQ seems to say no but I'd *really* like this to not be true. I do 
understand the difficulties in throwing an exception in C++ called from 
C code.

If you have any suggestions as to how I may achieve the equivalent 
functionality if it doesn't exist, I'd be very happy with that.

Thanks.
