Pure oversight :-(

Thanks :-). I'll look at reversing the OK/Cancel buttons sometime. I
just got hold of a Mac myself, so I'm working on improving these things.

Actually it never did - that option is only used by the SQL Tool. I'll
improve the documentation about that.

Hmm, I wonder if it doesn't like the png images at the bottom. I'll look
at that.

It stores it in .pgpass, or at least it's supposed to. It's not beyond
the realms of possibility that it's not picking up the home directory
corectly on OS X - certainly it didn't as far as logfiles were concerned
at one point. I'll look at this as well.

Thanks :-)

If it uses .pgpass and it works after prompting me the first time,  
maybe the issue is that it does not look for password unless the  
"store password" property is set for the server. It works now and  
my .pgpass is not modified.
