Just checked it on FreeBSD 6.something, it is indeed an instance
of std::runtime_error. Your patch should work fine.

I'm a bit worried about the
#ifdef GLIBMM_EXCEPTIONS_ENABLED
part though. Basically, it means that the no-exceptions build
will fail on FreeBSD, right? I remember reading here that the
whole no-exceptions stuff is going to be removed from *mm, so not
sure if that is a problem.

Thanks,
Alexander
