(from memory, I might have details wrong here)...

     select now()-xact_start as "Transaction Age", usename, datname,
procpid, application_name
         from pg_stat_activity where current_query='<IDLE> in
transaction" order by 1 desc;

that will list the age of those idle-in-transactions, oldest on top.
