I slightly miswrote:
I am afraid, the RULE privilege for pg >= 8.2 has risen from the dead in pgadmin 1.8.2. My original bug report (to pgadmin-support(at)postgresql(dot)org at 2007-03-05) applies in full again.
Mistaken I am! A related, but different bug it is. This time, views it affects, not tables.
