Well, exceptions are the only way to do safe CORBA programming unless you
want a list of switch cases around every CORBA call (guys programming
with Orbit already have to do this because C lacks exceptions). So
exceptions are definitely going to be used more widely in KDE as CORBA
becomes more common.
