THANKS for your help, Stephen. Once I've reassigned ownership
I can then easily find out privilege dependencies using
pg_shdepend. Here's the preliminary query I've worked up for
coming up with the listing, in case it's of use to others...

------------------------------------------------------
select
rol.rolname as thisrole,
db.datname as dbname,
sch.nspname as dependencyschema,
c.relname as dependency
from
pg_shdepend as d
inner join pg_database as db on d.dbid = db.oid
inner join pg_authid as rol on d.refobjid = rol.oid
left join (pg_class as c inner join pg_namespace as sch on
c.relnamespace = sch.oid) on d.objid = c.oid where
rol.rolname = '<WhateverRoleNameYouLike>'
and d.deptype in ('o', 'a')
order by
rol.rolname,
db.datname,
sch.nspname,
c.relname
------------------------------------------------------

I've included a left join in there for the case where there
are items outside the current database or that are not
otherwise in pg_class... not sure if I need that, but it's in
there for now... will probably remove to optimize (and handle
the case elsewise)
