I currently use Adobe Lightroom for nondestructive editing, but for things like heavy clone brushing, adding grain to B&W conversions, etc., GIMP and PS Elements are starting to get in my way. Again, if you're shooting RAW, your WB setting doesn't make any difference to your final output. You can change it in your RAW to JPG workflow on the computer. I’ve been considering Photoshop CS3.

This would be helpful to play around with. Unfortunately, I don't have much at my disposal for post-processing (GIMP is just not going to happen) and so I'm starting to go more into the filter route (Circular Polarizer). I tried to set a custom WB with some outdoor shots for a party a few weeks ago and didn't like the way they were turning out (at least, on the LCD) so I went back to AUTO. Once the new camera comes in, I have promised myself a babysitter on a Saturday where I could shoot in several modes and do WB testing, make notes, and then review to see what works best -- and just generally get a sense of the options. Bummer we didn't get a chance to do this together while you all were here! Good review and thanks for the comments. This would be helpful to play around with.
