To get rid of the console window either feed gnat the argument:
  -largs -mwindows

Or add the line:

  pragma Linker_Options( "-mwindows" );

To your source code.

The same is true for GWindows, although it may already have the 
Linker_Options pragma in the sources.

Regarding tasking, learn about Ada tasking.  Once you get used to it, it's 
really nice.  It's different from the "fork()" model of unix, and closer to 
the tasking model I have seen in a lot other operating systems over the 
years (only simpler and portable).
