 Many UX designers abhor the idea that the computer would scare off users
 with incomprehensible error messages. Ideally, we would have a 100% bug
 free system in which this never happens, but current today's  is very
 different.

 Currently, users and are left wondering why some operation isn't doing
 anything and have no way to tell that their log is full of tracebacks.

 To keep things simple, I would suggest to print the exception message in a
 notification alert, and suggest users to open the Log activity for further
 details.
