If GTK+ encounters an oom condition, your program will abort(), the sky
is ocasionally blue and pigs unfortunatly, do not fly :(
but seriously, I think it would be a noble cause to make `abort()' on oom
optional but it would require alot of work. The entire GTK+ codebase would
have to be refactored. To start with: class / instance initialization
functions in
GObject would have to support oom conditions and return FALSE if they werent
capable to allocate enough resources (right now they return `void').
many many lines of code... But IMO, definitly a noble cause :)
