Calling gimp_fatal_error is not an option in most cases (most errors are not fatal). The correct response to an error condition is to return an error indication in accordance with your API. Upstream callers are responsible for checking error returns except for errors which cause transfer-of-control with longjmp or exit. -- I love catnip mice. It's why I chew their heads off.
