Yes, you're right.

AFAICT, it's a wxWidgets limitation on Linux. I understand this is not a
satisfactory answer.

None right now. I don't like this but the Windows interface is really better,
and we need to work on this. Not sure what the best way is: fix wxWidgets or
create new widgets for pgAdmin. The best way would be to do both, but it's a
lot of work.

Anyways, I created a ticket (http://code.pgadmin.org/trac/ticket/74) to
remember us that we have to enhance this part.

Thanks for your report.
