I believe you can do it with the socket/plug mechanism if you know the XID of
the program you want to display in your GtkAda widget.  (You can for sure do it
if the other program is a GTK+ program, because that will support the
socket/plug mechanism directly.  The documentation seems to indicate that you
can do it with any X program by using calls to X to find out the XID of the
non-GTK program, though I've never tried it.)

Look at the GtkAda documentation for Gtk.Socket and Gtk.Plug.
