First, as Hari-san said, starting the server with "pg_ctl start" on the command prompt does not feel like production use but like test environment, and that usage seems mostly interactive. Second, the current PostgreSQL is not exempt from the same problem: if postmaster or standalone backend crashes before main(), the pop up would appear.
