Summary: Visual "UnexpectedException" Handler
Initial Comment:
As of 20020612-0105, whenever an UnexpectedException is thrown, a raw stack trace is printed to standard output. Since some platforms ignore standard output, this means that some errors are never reported to the user in any form. Even when they can be seen, the messages are verbose and unhelpful for end users.
A visual indication of some kind could be used to report these errors to users in a more friendly fashion. My suggestion would be to use a message dialog with a simple, generic error message. The dialog would have a default button of OK and a second button which allows the user to save the stack trace to a file. The dialog could also be enhanced with an expandable pane to display the stack trace within a text box, or perhaps with a mechanism to create a new email message containing the data.
