Description

Running `strace desk run hello something` leads to desk deciding my shell is `strace`, so it invokes `strace -ic something`. This actually runs something, but without the requested desk environment and a confusing strace warning and output.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with `strace desk run hello something` and tracing the `get_running_shell` entry point. Determine why `strace` is accepted as the shell, then verify that the command runs with the requested desk environment rather than invoking `strace` on `something`.
