The first time I used it was for precisely this reason - some buggy PHP code opened hundreds of connections to a dev server which then remained open doing nothing except wasting resources. It was particularly useful in that case as I didn't have access to the web server at the time.
Shortly afterwards I added support to pgAdmin's server status tool which has proven quite handy (although I will admit, mainly for canceling ather than terminating).
Yeah, I've added the kill and cancel commands to phppgadmin. I'm happy if kill is removed though, i don't want my newbie users panicing their machines.
phpmyadmin has both kill and cancel since they're sql commands in mysql.
