You need to open a terminal with the settings of your choice and Lazarus 
just tells GDB to redirect the output of the debugged process to that 
window. Lazarus has basically no way of knowing what your preffered 
shell looks like (as there are many, many different terminal 
applications on Linux).

And for me most of your points worked:
I simply started my systems default terminal application which is 
configured the way I like it (it's an urxvt with scrollbar on the right, 
black background, grey foreground color, fixed width font). Then I 
printed the tty number and entered that in the options dialog.

When I run my application it did output to that shell window, the output 
was appended at the bottom and the scrollbar scrolled down as it should 
(even when I restarted my applicaton).

What could be done by the Lazarus devs though is to use the "starting 
application" that's entered in the projects option, let that execute the 
"tty" command and then Lazarus uses that to start GDB. This way the user 
could use his/her default shell (or maybe a global "terminal" command 
line option would be better)
