guake overlaps panel after creating new tab

[gavv]

After creating new tab in guake, it hides xfce panel in the top. After hiding/restoring guake, panel is displayed again.

I tracked this down to this line: guake.py:862 self.client.notify(KEY('/general/window_height'))

Commenting this fixes the bug, but ofcourse introduces other inconveniences. Seems like the resize method somewhy ignores the panel when its called after creating a tab.

I have exactly the same problem.

xfce4-panel: 4.8.2 guake: 0.4.2

I have the same problem in Openbox 3.5 with tint2 panel.

Based on zarorudo's findings and after much debugging, I found that the guake window has an issue with interpreting where position 0,0 is depending on its visible state (hidden/shown).

If guake is hidden, then it treats 0,0 as the first pixel just below the panel. Whereas once the window.show() function is called, then it treats 0,0 as the top-left corner of the screen.

Proposed Fix By setting the window type hint to dock, the guake window always interprets the 0,0 position in the same way. This means that it will always be covering the top panel. See attachment.
