Oh joy - there go my evenings :-p
Seriously though - great to have you back!

Start Value becomes Current Value on the properties dialogue for
existing sequences. I hadn't noticed that that option was added for
8.4.
That whole dialogue is a minefield to modify, as the countless
combinations of changes the user can make, can cause an
correspondingly countless number of combinations of variations that
are required in the ordering of the SQL statements to make those
changes. I wonder though, if having START fixes that for us by
allowing us to do everything in a single statement....
Anyway, I think his will have to be fixed for 1.12. As it's you,
there's no need for us to triage your bugs, so if you let me know your
community account username, i'll give you access to
http://code.pgadmin.org/ so you can log bugs directly (if you don't
mind, starting with this one :-) ).
If you don't have a community account, you can get one here:
