lol, the best codename I ever heard :)

After a little search on pgadmin-support (thread "Weird Popup Menus -
pgAdmin 1.8.4"), I better remember the issue. The shortcuts in menu were
badly displayed on GTK. I sent them a patch, that they applied for the
2.8.8 release. So, Intrepid should be fine.

It also means pgAdmin won't crash. But shortcuts would appear quite
weird (like this "F_ile").

Sure.

1.11 in PPA would be great. I only use the devel release I compile, but
I know a few users that will be pleased with it.

Thanks.
