Ok, I found a workaround for this.

Open Compiz Config Settings Manager and enable Place Windows. Then, on Fixed Window Placement tab, add a line in Windows with fixed positions with

 Positioned windows: class=Guake.py
 X Positions: 0
 Y Positions: 0

Since this appears to be a Compiz issue and not Guake's, please feel free to mark this ticket as invalid.

Thanks for the solution, I will close the bug and propose it in a faq page on the wiki ;-)

Thank you too!

Just a minor enhancement: using

Positioned windows: (class=Guake.py) & (title=Guake!)

instead of what I first proposed gives better results (e.g., it won't move Guake Preference window). I will appreciate if you could update the wiki FAQ page (since I can't do that).

done, I kept the

 X Positions: 0
 Y Positions: 0

part.

Thanks again
