Subject: ruby/GTK : Embedded terminal or redirecting process output

Hi,

Using ruby-gnome2 (gtk) I'd like to embed a terminal in a window, or
redirect the output of a child process into a text editor.

Something like
      sbtn.signal_connect("pressed") {
         system('ls')
         }

... launch the command 'ls' but is not portable and I don't know how to
redirect the output into a gtk text editor, not in the original
terminal window.

Something like
      sbtn.signal_connect("pressed") {
         lsproc = IO.popen('ls')
         p Process.waitpid(lsproc.pid)
         p $?
         }
... is portable, but still does not redirect the output.

Could someone give me a pointer to begin with ?

Thanks,
Mickael.
