Just to clarify, both GVD and the Tk-based GUI that comes with GNAT
are front ends for the Gnu Debugger, which is called gdb. It seems the
Tk-based GUI is also called 'gdb'; another ambiguity.

It it gdb that provides the support for tasking; the GUI front ends
make it either easier or harder to use. I use Emacs as a gdb front
end, so I can't comment on the GUI tools.
