I second that wish. Here is what I found useful as a workaround: If you 
select the "Databases" item in the treeview and do a refresh (via 
hitting F5 or from the context menu item), pgAdmin will close all 
connections to that server _except_ for the one connection to the 
initial database for that server, i.e. you only have to disconnect if 
you drop the database listed as being the one pgAdmin connects to by 
default when connecting to this particular server.

Cheers,

Alex
