Yes: just catch them before letting them come back to any Qt function. You 
should treat all your slots and event handlers as "noexcept" (you may even 
want to mark them as such).

The advice for QCoreApplication::notify is no longer valid. If an exception 
escapes, BadThings™ will happen. Your application may crash before getting to 
notify(), or abort by std::terminate(). Or it may cause data corruption.
