Got it! Thanks, Chris!

I still wonder why application_name appears in the configuration file if it
cannot take effort :-P

Not sure what you mean by that, but my postgresql.conf doesn't have
anything about application_name. But if it did, it would be a default
that an application can override.

Actually it does:

log_line_prefix =  #   %a = application name
                   #   %u = user name
                   #   %d = database name

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/runtime-config-logging.html#GUC-APPLICATION-NAME
                   ....
It is a chicken and egg situation. See section 31.1.2. Parameter Key Words of below:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/libpq-connect.html

"application_name
Specifies a value for the application_name configuration parameter."
