For me it prints a traceback and doesn't crash.  I can click again and 
get another traceback.  I think that there is a difference between 
uncaught exceptions in normal code which will terminate the application 
and uncaught exceptions in code called by slots which falls out of that 
slot but doesn't crash the whole application.
