Well, most of the Win32 users use pgAdminII.  My guess is that *nix
 users don't feel a need for GUI tools.  The other GUI widget for
 Linux/Postgres, Kpsql, also stopped being maintained over a year ago.
  pgPhpAdmin still works, but has very limited capabilities.  Ditto for
 Webmin.

Admittedly, after two years with Postgres, I feel less in need of a GUI
 tool than I once did.   By the time it stopped working, I was using
 PgAccess just for browsing indexes, and Kpsql just so I could
 cut-and-paste queries from my web browser.

Hopefully we'll get a new GUI management tool out of Red Hat.  There's
 no reason to believe that they'll offer it for free, though.  I'd like
 it if they simply took over pgAccess and finished/upgraded it, but
 proprietary GUI management tools and support are how one gets
 customers to pay $2500 for a free database.  So don't hold your
 breath.

I'd tackle the pgAccess issues myself, if I knew any tcl/tk ....
