you can always redirect to any existing terminal.

Open a terminal (and if you wan, run something (a loop) that prevents 
the shell from reading your keyboard)

get the pty number/dev.

It Tools / Options / debugger, in the property grid, find: "ConsoleTty" 
(it is     {$IFDEF UNIX}, so you should have it)
Enter the pty in that field. (the IDE will tell gdb to do the redirect, 
so if your gdb behaves....)

downside, each time you open a new terminal, you need to change this.
