When the user of the program connects to an irc server a thread is

main thread? The things is that the connection code may cause an
exception and I want to run that in the connection thread so the UI
doesn't freeze while it's waiting for an connection attempt to time-out
for instance.
How exactly do you propose to "throw an exception across threads" anyway?
You can't spawn a thread inside a try-catch block and expect that block to
apply to the new thread....
