In the Windows world, the GUI is inseperable from the OS.

Now, on a server, I can't imagine the point.  I mean, do you sit, logged in
to your server, watching the tray to see if PG is running or not?

I can, however, see it being a nice addition for someone who's running PG
on their desktop as part of a development environment.

In any case, I doubt it deserves to be part of PostgreSQL proper.  If
someone is interested, probably a pgfoundry project would make sense.
