I think so too. But last-query-string may be a useful *hint*.
It is a hard work to trace the whole sequence of queries.

In most cases, last query string is enough information to solve the
long transaction problem. And I want a easy way to get the informarion.
# last query string is also a key to trace queries.

"COMMIT;BEGIN;idle in transaction" is not a problem on 8.3 or later, but
"(BEGIN;)SOME SQL;idle in transaction" is a problem.

So, main purpose of displaying the last query string is ..
- check whether "idle in transaction (running long time) process
after SOME SQL" is exists or not.
- check the content of "SOME SQL".
