Sure, we could use gdk_error_trap_push() and pop() around every GTK+ call, but that would blow up our code unreasonably. GDK itself does such error trapping in a few spots. Feel free to look at the described crashes and check if the GTK+/GDK code can be improved to handle them. > If gimp is using a pointer to a resource that has been deleted the > exception should be trapped and handled cleanly.

Even with a language that supports it, you can't reasonably handle all unexpected exceptions in a large project.
