I use ddd for a graphical front end to gdb. It works very
nice once you understand how to work gdb with GNAT (if only
it would auto convert variable names to lower case on a click/print!)

For the editor environment use either
xemacs with Ada mode, I dont have a url off hand but this one
should be easy to find

or

A tool called grasp is not bad either

If you want to do GUI development, take a look at the xforms
library (there is an xforms Ada binding and a GUI builder that
outputs (essentially) Ada code. I dont think the binding is
up to date with the latest rev of GNAT but the problems were
pretty  easy to fix. Poke around at http://ocsystems.com/xada/xforms1.html
for info. You can download the xforms library for free but if you
use it for any real work I think they want you to buy a copy
