identify the source of the problem and resolve it so we can debug
without having to restart the desktop manager.

Recently, main threaded debugging doesn't crash the gdm but threading
still does.  If I set a break point for a threaded method, I can step
two or three lines down/deep before the desktop manager hangs and I
have to open a terminal session with ctrl+alt+F2 and sudo service gdm
restart.
In your case you should refine your statement:
  "Debugging under Linux (Ubuntu) is the largest development pain"
versus:
  "threaded debugging"

While debugging threaded apps should be no special at all, it probably still is....
And so is 64 bits at current => simply due to the lack of testing it had

I don't understand what the problem is?

I debug 64-apps with lazarus daily ? (admittedly, without threads).
