Horror,

Look for information on the ZvtWidget for GTK+ that is used by some
GTK+/GNOME apps to enable a shell in their apps. I frankly don't like
the ZvtWidget because I think it is flaky in its Curses support and font
support but it's a start. Also, ZvtWidget does not limit itself to the
bash shell. It uses whatever your default shell is. I use zsh for
example.
