I'm not really following you, but I debug gtk program using 'ipython
-gthread'. When you hit an exception you are jumped into a pdb interpreter
 run from ipython (i.e. you have completion available that you dont have in
 a normal pdb session). Try:

  ipython -gthread -pdb -- your_script.py

I think and hope this should be (more) than what you where looking for.
