Hi Guillaume,

This commit: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=pgadmin3.git;a=commitdiff;h=4b8ae9d82c3b879eb02dda60908ed9590a674ec4
(particularly the code in pgObject.cpp) is causing problems. I keep
running into objects for which we now get messages like "Refreshing
unknown object of type Replication", which I believe used to work just
fine. I've just hit it with the Slony replication cluster object, and
now have a sneaking suspicion it's also going to affect all the other
slony object types.

Aside from the fact that the code is incomplete, it's a serious
modularity violation. We shouldn't have a giant conditional statement
in a parent class that has knowledge of each of the different classes
that might be derived from that object. Instead, each of the child
classes should override a common function.

Can you look at this please?
