This is a very belated comment, but it would be excellent if the 
shapefile GUI loader could be a plugin to PgAdmin.  In my experience, 
people who would want a GUI shapefile loader are the same sort of people 
likely to already be using a GUI for DBMS management.

Oracle has an analogous MapBuilder GUI tool which can (among other 
things) load shapefiles, and a Spatial add-on for their SqlDeveloper GUI 
management tool, which can view geometries.  Both have some rough edges 
but are overall quite handy.
