This is basic C++:

try {
  std::cout << "DB - Password: " << password << std::endl;
}
catch (Glib::Exception& e) {
  std::cerr << e.what().raw() << std::endl;
}
catch (std::exception& e) {
  std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
}

If you are using a library provided by others which returns a string by
Glib::ustring, it is reasonable to assume the encoding is utf-8 (if it
isn't, file a bug with the library author). If you are providing
your own text to put in a Glib::ustring object, it is up to you to get
the encoding right. If you declare a string as Glib::ustring then you
must only put text in utf-8 encoding in it.
