Description

**Describe the bug**

It looks like guake is interfering with the `password-store` command line tool. Upon trying to run `pass show -c path/to/whatever`, the command hangs for several minutes/forever. The problem occurs regardless of the shell used (zsh, bash), it does not occur in Gnome terminal.

**Expected behavior**
`pass show -c whatever` copies a string to clipboard.

**Observed behavior**
Upon running `pass show -c whatever` from guake, the command hangs for several minutes, an app with the title "Unknown" is added to the dock (with a gear icon), clicking it "unfreeze" the command and the expected behavior finally occurs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It stopped working as expected after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 from 21.04 this morning.
