I don't run Linux -- but screen(1) is a viable option under *BSD.
I imagine if not available as a prebuilt package for your distro,
you could just build from source.

Run it in an xterm or from one of the consoles.  Plumb it to tip(1),
as appropriate.

It has the added advantage that you can hot-key between multiple
"sessions" in that same "window" (or console).  IIRC, you can also
subdivide the "display" to show two or more sessions *in* that
single window.

Far too many capabilities to describe how it can be exploited, here.
