AFAIK, no. Previous attempts don't embed actual terminal, but use aterminal
like component with application controlled command to execute.
Could I throw one thing in here which probably isn't immediately helpful.
A couple of months ago, working on Linux, I experimented with embedding
Xnest/Xephyr sessions in LCL (GTK2?) panels, with the object being to
present multiple copies of a program that refused to run more than one
instance per X server on the same screen.
It didn't work directly, but I was /was/ in the end able to embed an
xterm in an LCL panel, then embed Xnest/Xephyr in the xterm... it was
crude since I'd put minimal effort into sizing etc. the panels, but it
worked as a POC.
So I suspect that there's something- possibly a Window Manager hint-
that's being unnecessarily propagated into panels that possibly needn't
be, and that is likely to cause problems embedding at least some
standalone programs (as distinct from specially-written components).
