Why do you say that your method works only under X?  Start up an emacs
shell session (M-x shell) and you can do the same thing in there.
It's still "sleazy", but it gets the desired effect of using three
emacs buffers -- one with source code, one with a debugger, and one
with program output.  This way it will work on a normal terminal.  Not
everyone can stomach the idea of running X11.
