I followed the instructions for adding the proper repository and
installed with apt-get. 3.5.7.2 is what it gave me.

I have Mint 13 at work. It isn't all *that* old. Only installed about
a year ago, if memory serves. Yes: I see 15 and 16 are now available.
Wow.
Anyway: 3.5.7.2 at work, on my Mint 13 machine, as well.
I have 4.1.something under MS-Win on my work laptop. Haven't played
with that, yet. (Have yet to work out the self-signed CA cert with
keytool under MS-Win.)

The left join works in Query Designer. I get the same thing as I would
with an ad hoc query via psql.

I did not try those things. Didn't know about them. I'll look into it.

"Edit -> Advanced Settings -> Database -> Special Settings", perhaps?
Options checked are:
Ignore the privileges from the database driver
Use catalog name in SELECT statements
Use schema name in SELECT statements
Create index with ASC or DESC statement
Form data input checks for required fields
Use ODBC conformant data/time literals
Comparison of Boolean values: Default

PostgreSQL v8.4.19 w/postgresql-jdbc4-9.1.jar at work
PostgreSQL v8.4.19 w/postgresql-jdbc3-8.4.jar at home
Behaviour is the same at both locations.
