Ashesh knows that part of the code far better than me, so CCing him.

If you click for details, what is displayed?

When we spawn jobs like this, they are executed independently of
pgAdmin. It keeps track of the process IDs of the tasks and monitors
them until completion, so the task will be re-displayed if pgAdmin is
restarted, and it still appears to be running.

I've changed the hint text (shown under the text box) to "Path to the
directory containing the PostgreSQL utility programs (pg_dump,
pg_restore etc).". The label remains the same, as it should be quite
short.

Thanks.
