You should create a pipe and fork, running the application to watch as a
child, redirecting standard I/O of the new process to the pipe. The are
few similar ways to do this and since it's a standard unix programming
technique you should find examples on the web. Then you can use to  

gtk_input_add_full()

or similar to what the pipes. When something arrives, you callback is
called and you can read data and append it to your text buffer.
