debug Linux process with suid

I develop an application with requires root privileges. I use Code:Blocks launched with sudo codeblocks command. The problem is that developing in root'ed Code::Blocks results in source files and CB configuration files being created with root owner.

I thought I could use setuid on codeblocks executable but it is not allowed with GTK apps.

Is there other ways to elevate effective UID of the programs under debug?

I think the most simple solution to debug programs which need root privileges is to run the debugger as root.
