We never use the error codes. We simply display the error messages from
the server.

And doing an exception for some error codes doesn't seem a good idea.

Well, it would be great to be able to use the privileges and make sure
the user cannot do something in the UI that he's not allowed on the
server. When someone will want to do something like this, he'll need to
have a complete patch. Not only the column level privileges. And it
would be a major work AFAICT.
