Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have almost the same problem but under Ubuntu 13.04, 32 bit (runs on macbook).

Guake does not start on my fresh install of 14.04, while it worked on the same system on 12.04.4
I am unsure if it is the same bug as reported here, because I don't have the timeout line:
me@mysystem:~$ guake

** (guake:3744): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
