embedding an application (in this case a terminal) within a QT application

Question

I am writing a QT application and I need to embed a terminal (we say,xterm) within a QDialog, like some KDE application (see kdevelop/kate/...).

I've been trying with: - QX11EmbedContainer placed into the QLayout of my QDialog - QProcess for the program I want to excecute

I expect the QProcess running within the QX11EmbedContainer, but it does not work.

The problem is that I can't put the xterm into the QX11EmbedContainer, the only thing I obtain is an xterm window (unfortunately separated from my QDialog). Does anybody got the same problem?

Sorry, I've tried your solution before posting oh this site and it does not work. I've solved switching to kdelibs and using those imports and this code

#include <kparts/part.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <kde_terminal_interface.h>
#include <kpluginfactory.h>
#include <klibloader.h>

KLibFactory* factory = KLibLoader::self()->factory( "libkonsolepart" );
KParts::Part* p = static_cast<KParts::Part*>(factory->create( this,"tralala",         
QStringList() << "dio") );

assert(p);
setCentralWidget( p->widget() );
TerminalInterface *t = qobject_cast<TerminalInterface*>(p);
t->showShellInDir( QDir::home().path() );
