This argument scares me... I believe a GUI-Tool shouldn't impose any
additional restrictions to what you can do with your database -
otherwise GUI-Users become second-class citzicens when compared to those
who use the commandline/psql. Why exactly does pgadmin depend on
the existance of the public schema?
