I have been having this same problem for a couple of days now. It does not consistently appear at the bottom of the screen, just more often than not. I have tried uninstalling\reinstalling guake. I have also delete the settings from .gconf directory. None of this seemed to help.
I'm starting to think the problem isn't with guake at all. If I go to an empty desktop, and open one window (nautilus, terminal, etc) and place it towards the top of the screen, when I call guake, it appears at the bottom. If I move the window to the bottom of my screen and call gauke, it will appear at the top of the screen. If I do this same test on a cluttered desktop, guake consistently appears where there is the least amount of clutter. This leads me to believe this is a matter of window placement, which is going to be handled by the window manager. If I disable compiz, guake always displays at the top of the screen. If I enable compiz, it goes back to the undesirable behavior. I have yet to find the right setting or window matching string to stop this, but I'm pretty sure compiz is the real culprit. -- Guake appears at the middle of the screen and not in the top of the screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/457654 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
