--tty changed behaviour

[-]

We are attempting to move from DDD 3.1.6 to the
current beta 3.2.91 and are having a problem with the
--tty option.

We use --tty so that we can send commands from a
home-grown program which is the parent of DDD, but
still have the same DDD GUI (and GDB pane).

Except that now if we invoke DDD 3.2.91 with the --tty
option the DDD GUI does NOT appear. The tip-of-the-day
dialog box appears, and the DDD process is running,
but there is no GUI at all. I also tried adding one of
the DDD options which forces one of the panes to be
displayed, in the hope that this would trigger the
whole GUI to be displayed, but it had no effect.

This is very different to version 3.1.6, and I can't
find any mention of this change of behaviour in the
release notes.

It's vital that we have both the --tty interface AND
the GUI working at the same time.

Is this a bug or is there a new option to force the
GUI to be displayed with the --tty option?
