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
