Folks,
I see that psql's \d displays trigger information of a table by making a call to pg_catalog.pg_get_triggerdef(), which abstracts away most all need to parse the contents of system catalog pg_trigger. However, we'd like to be able to get at a human readable representation of just the WHEN clause of the trigger _expression_. Function pg_get_expr() looked likely, but fails when fed a pgqual value from pg_trigger ala:
ERROR: bogus varno: 2
I suspect that it is falling over dead trying to parse the representation of NEW and / or OLD. Anything built in, or should we just make call to pg_catalog.pg_get_triggerdef() and parse out the WHEN clause text?
Thanks!

Your problem description is a bit cloudy. Could you please give just a little more specific and provide
1. Your PostgreSQL version?
2. Your O./S ?
3. The exact trigger definition?
4. Your exact SQL query for pg_get_triggerdef() ?
Little things like that make it so much easier to provide solutions.
