[Interest] Recommended exception handling

I wrote and installed my own notify function.
My app only ever throws QStrings.

Something like...

class MyApplication : public QApplication {
     Q_OBJECT
     typedef QApplication BaseClass;
   public:
     MyApplication(int&,char**);
    ~MyApplication();
     bool notify(QObject*,QEvent*);	// This is virtual.
};

bool
MyApplication::notify( QObject *receiver, QEvent *event ) {
     try {
         return BaseClass::notify(receiver,event);
     } catch( QString msg ) {				// What I throw.
         msg = msg.trimmed(); msg += " Operation aborted.";
         LogEvent( EventLevel_Critical, msg );
         return false;
    } catch( std::bad_alloc & ) {
         LogEvent( EventLevel_SystemError, "Could not allocate any more memory...");
         return false;
     } catch( std::exception &e ) {
         LogEvent( EventLevel_SystemError, QString("Standard exception: 
%1.").arg(e.what()) );
         return false;
     } catch( ... ) {
         LogEvent( EventLevel_SystemError, "MyApplication::notify: Caught an 
unexpected exception." );
         return false;
     }
}
