//  This class reimplements the basic notify() method  //
//  of the QApplication class, in order to catch       //
//  exceptions from C++, and to avoid fatal errors     //
//  like:                                              //
//  "Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event   //
//  handler. Throwing exceptions from an event handler //
//  is not supported in Qt. You must reimplement       //
//  QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions    //
//  there.                                             //
