in this case, you'll probably have to create a desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications/ydotoold.desktop
something like
[Desktop Entry]
Name=ydotool daemon
Exec=the command you used to launch
Type=Application
you can look at other .desktop in the same directory for reference
seems cozy. you can sit on the top of stairs but with your back against a wall, so there's no one coming up behind you
