That's because the definitions of the functions are not stored in the
schema.
functions are stored in the pg_catalog schema in the pg_proc table and
views are accessible via the multiple pg_get_viewdef functions in the
same schema.
If you block access to that table and fucntion then pgadmin would not be
able to show the function or view definition.
However, as long as the user has access to a backup, they have access to
all the definitions, no matter what you do.

Up until 8.1 it is possible to see all the functions (plpgsql code) in
pgAdmin, even if you don't have access rights to the schema.
I'm not sure how this is in 8.2 or 8.3?

Aside from database permission issues, which are not a problem,
you would also
have to not give them superuser access to their own database
server (something
that a lot of companies will not be happy with). Especially if
they want to the
possibility of other databases on the server. You would also have
to prevent
them from holding onto the backups, something that most companies
would not
tolerate at all.
