OK, I see what you mean.

OK, fixed.

I'm not sure I'll go to pgDay this year.

Fixed. The status bar is really oddly used.

I needed to fix the last Privileges issue (wxListCtrl issue on Mac OS
X). Now that it is fixed, I'll commit a part of my patch.

I'll only commit some pieces of my patch. Here are the dialogs that
won't be commited:

 * dlgFunction (status bar, OK and cancel buttons don't display
   correctly on Mac)
 * dlgLanguage (strange error about wxChoice::GetString on Mac...
   strange because there's no wxChoice widget on this dialog)
 * dlgTable (wxListCtrl issue on Columns tab, on Mac)
 * dlgType (on Mac and Windows)
 * dlgRole (no chkValue on Variables tab, on Linux)
 * dlgSchedule (Days and Times tabs, on all platforms)

New patch is available on:
 http://developer.pgadmin.org/~guillaume/dialogreview_20080825.patch.bz2

It'll be commited tomorrow afternoon (if no one objects).
