Correct.

A Python exception will be caught by the GTK main loop, though, so if
there's an exception you don't catch it'll be printed out to stderr in
the usual Python manner but your programme won't just vanish like it
would if a C programme segfauls.

Yes.  (I belive one of Davyd's examples did this.)
