You won't be able to find the cause in PostgreSQL.
The cause is a database session that started a transaction, did some
work and never closed the transaction.
PostgreSQL can help you find out who the offending client is:
SELECT application_name, client_addr, client_hostname, client_port
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE procpid = 14740;
(Replace 14740 of the process ID of the "idle in transaction" backend).
Look on the client machine and find the process that holds TCP port
"client_port" open (on Linux you can use "lsof" for that).
Then you have found the culprit!
