     (I hope your users "opt in" to this surveillance.  Screen shots may
reveal information the user might have preferred to keep private, as in
the case of Congressional candidate Mike Webb.)

     But back to the original question: After you've logged or reported
or dissected or whatevered the error condition, what next?  Swallow the
exception and System.exit(), or re-throw the exception from main()?  For
myself, I'd find System.exit() noticeably *worse* than throwing, since
it makes your main() harder to call from places other than JVM startup.
