Re: bug report: pgadmin3 server status dialog malfunction

Thanks again Dave,

I went to a non-functional instance, removed all wxwidgets3.0, removed
all pgadmin3 1.22 (that was installed from Ubuntu's package), made sure
wxwidgets2.8 deps were there, downloaded source pgadmin 1.22, compiled
etc.
** It works now.


I also noticed that Archlinux packages pgadmin3 1.22 with wxwidgets2.8. 

And, as you indicated Ubuntu packages pgadamin3 1.22 with wxwidgets3.0.

Looking forward to pgadmin4.

Now back to getting replication going.
