Mmmpph. Still doesn't make it obvious to me that a long running query
has completed. I'll try it out, but if I find it's no good then the
message box goes in with an option to enable/disable it.

And? That sounds good to me though the save to disk and clear options
are unnecessary (yes, I realise you were being sarcastic). We are trying
to build feature rich software after all. Session logging is a useful
feature that's been in both previous versions of pgAdmin. pgAdmin II
even added a query recorder option to allow logs of sessions to be
maintained in a useful format.
