Yes, that seems a gtk issue. You mark, then klick accidentaly into
the marked text (usually to change the mark area) and in the result
you are dragging the text to nowhere. pgadmin and X freezes in this
case. However you can login via another box and just kill pgadmin
to unfreeze. Maybe there is a problem with how drag & drop
is/isnt handled by the code? I have no idea.
