Hmm, I thought the deal with 'embedded' postgres, there wouldn't be a
separate uid/gid for the admin, that it would all be under the user's
id.  

viz, the idea being, that if gnucash used pg, we wouldn't have to
teach my grandma how to be a db admin.  And also to avoid the
possible failures of install scripts run as root that don't
quite manage to configure everything right because your linux distro
is slightly weird ...

gnucash is hard enough to install already ...
