Theremust be a file somewhere that was not deleted when I tossed the old version of pgadmin.

Sounds like something pretty funky is going on on your machine. Did
you take ownership of any of the files owned by the ex-account holder?
The settings are stored on a per-user basis, in
"~/Library/Preferences/pgadmin3 Preferences". It's in ini file format,
so you should be able to edit the value in there.
