What about retouching private album photos and ripping CDs?

You can start GPS in a command mode listening for connections from the
program being debugged and navigate the project sources from there. (It is
a huge help when debugging GtkAda applications.) You can walk the call
stack from an exception handler or at any point you wanted, without messing
up with gdb (which does not work anyway).
