I had the same trouble with pgAdmin, especially with pgAdmin I which had
a whole host of objects server-side. I also found that people didn't
like it, but where else do you store the data?

pgAdmin II no longer uses such tables, but to get over the problem as
best I could, I added a cleanup option to pgAdmin I that removed all
server side objects in one go.
