Description
Enhancement proposal
Currently I like working with the interactive mode with opengl renderer and GUI. However, the main issue is that every time I accidentally mistype or have an issue my logic, the whole application closes and IPython crashes. Could we catch the errors and just display them in the GUI and continue on?

Research direction
Start by locating the interactive mode entry point for the OpenGL renderer and GUI, then reproduce the crash with a mistyped expression or logic error. Trace how the uncaught error reaches IPython and identify the intended place to display it while keeping the application running. Done means errors appear in the GUI and the session continues instead of closing.
