Description

Probably Druid-related as far as I can tell. bspwm runs in an Xsession, launching psst-gui takes users to a new tty session. Can provide more config if necessary

Research direction
The issue is likely related to how Druid initializes the window. Investigate the startup code in psst gui's main.rs or Druid's application setup, particularly how it handles X11 sessions. Check if there is a way to force the application to stay in the same tty as the X session. Look at bspwm configuration and how other GUI applications behave. Consider examining any Druid examples or documentation about window creation and tty handling.
