ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I created such tools. It uses some hacks and needs further love, but I asks for
direction/suggestions. One key missing is full VT support.
Currently, it detects if app is console or graphical (X11/Wayland), shows some
early start messages (linker problems, for example), etc. It uses libgreattao,
which is my library, but I can port my solution to Qt. After detecting app type
(or earlier), user could select to open terminal window. To perform detection,
we start the apps itself, so I need to have good implementation of VT.
Currently virtual terminal implementation is only in early stage. Some other
bugs should been addressed.
