  Yes, but capturing the exception at that level is not really useful,
because at that moment your whole application already is dead. I have
a try/catch like that in Bond, but it made more problems than it
solved... One thing is that you have to catch everything separately
there, otherwise it may hide some errors. The behavior we would like is
that if the embedded chart server dies, let's say, then we have a blank
rectangle in KWord, and that should be handled locally (but probably only
once for any kind of embedded stuff).
