Hello Jack,

if i remove the .pgadmin directory in my home i get - after a long wait a 
dialog box saying 
 The application server could not be contacted.

In the terminal it prints:
-------------------------- cut ------------------------------
Python path:  "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages" 
Python Home:  ""
Webapp path:  "/usr/share/pgadmin4/web/pgAdmin4.py"
NOTE: Configuring authentication for DESKTOP mode.
-------------------------- cut ------------------------------

Starting pgAdmin4 again i get the output and dialogs i wrote initially in this 
thread.

regards
  Petric
