If your program uses stdio and you're on a unix machine, you can use the 
  target settings dialog to select "use xterm as inferior's tty".

One note about this, though: you MUST use the Run button to start your 
application. There is still a huge disconnect between Insight's GUI and 
GDB's internals, so you cannot use the console window and type "run" to 
get this to work.
