For a simple movie like the geekserver one:

  gdb --args gtk-gnash http://klaus.geekserver.net/flash/video.swf

For more complex one you can export GNASH_OPTIONS=waitforgdb
before starting firefox, then start firefox from the commandline.
You shoul dthen get a message on stdout instructing you
about how to attach gdb to the spawned gnash process and make
it go on.
