Hi Andi, IMHO I think there should be a way to catch all kinds of exceptions whether they inherits from "Exception" or not. It's specially important in standalone applications like those in PHP-GTK. An external library can throw an unkown exception an it could terminate the program abnormally. Instead, if we can catch this (at the moment) "unknown exception", maybe it would be possible to recover the program stability.
