Just som minor comments on the english messages in the properties
dialogue/pane:
The columns belonging to a foreign key are named 'Child columns' in the
properties pane. Any reason they are not just called 'Columns'? 

and the property dialog calls it "local column"....
When working with design tools, I always wondered which column is on 
which side of the reference. I want the namings to clearly indicate 
this, so how should we name that beast?

The 'Create operator' dialogue has a tab with the rather awkward name
'Properties 2'. Wouldn't something more describing, like 'Advanced
properties', be better?
It's not advanced, just continuing from "Properties", but "Properties 2" 
is ugly, I admit. Maybe "Implementation"?

There are some inconsistencies between the terminology in the properties
dialogue and properties pane for some of the selections:
 The 'Initially deferred' deferred property of a constraint is called
 'Deferred' in the properties dialogue, but 'Initially' in the properties
 pane. 

It's "Initially: Deferred" or "Initially: Immediate", and a checkbox 
"Deferred Yes/No" in properties. I think this is ok.

 Index: Index type is called 'Strategy' in the dialogue, but 'Index type'
 in the pane.
->"Access method"

 Aggregates: Input data type is called 'Base type' in the dialogue, but
 'Input type' in the pane.
pgsql doc uses both expressions. "Input type" is more intuitive, I believe.

 Function and trigger functions: Return type/returns.

-> Return type

 Operators: Restrict proc/Restrict function, Join proc/join function,
 Supports hash/Hash joins?, Procedure/Operator function.
-> function

 Sequence: Current value/Last value.

-> Current value

Also, the use of caps is inconsistent between the properties dialogue and
properties pane. In general, all words are capitalized in the properties
pane, but not in the properties dialogues.

Next commit will have even better english :-)
