Hello,

Actually, IIRC the reason why Qt does no use exceptions is because
Nokia used to support broken/old compilers which do not support
exceptions or did not support them right. Modern compilers should do
exceptions right and maybe Nokia will change their policy towards
exceptions when they only support modern compilers (from Qt 4.7 on,
IIRC)

I'm 90% sure KDE inherited the "no exceptions" policy from Qt. OTOH,
there *is* some code which uses exceptions in KDE, look for instance
at KHTML (DOM, CSS, etc).
