Does ut turn of exception for divide by zero completely or just before 
calling gtk code? IOW, does the following code in a TButton.OnClick 
event handler show the message? If not, it might be worth to add this 
the list of 'incompatibilities'.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var x, y, z: single;
begin
   x := 3.0; y := 1.0;
   try
     z := (x - y ) / (y - 1.0);
   except
     ShowMessage('Exception occurred');
   end;
end;
