You can do exactly that. You can also use the pipe functionality (eg popen())
This forks the underlying program and you can specify that its stdout is a 
pipe. You read from the pipe and you get its output.

Take a look at "man popen"


Finally the gnome widgets include a widget called zvt. This is what is used
to put things like a shell in a window in gnome-terminal.
