Unable to catch Gdk::PixbufError

[J . B . C . Engelen]

Hello all,

I am an Inkscape developer and have problems with
Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file.

This is the code we have:

    try {
        img = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file(fileName);
    }
    catch (Glib::FileError & e)
    {
        g_message("caught Glib::FileError in SVGPreview::showImage");
        return;
    }
    catch (Gdk::PixbufError & e)
    {
        g_message("Gdk::PixbufError in SVGPreview::showImage");
        return;
    }
    catch (...)
    {
        g_message("Caught ... in SVGPreview::showImage");
        return;
    }

Unfortunately *none* of the catchers actually catch Gdk::PixbufError
exception, not even 'catch (...)' ). Inkscape crashes with:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gdk::PixbufError'

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Thanks a lot,
Johan Engelen
