Bug Description
gnome-shell's extensions system, as well as some of the advanced tweaks, sometimes require restarting the shell (through Alt+F2 r) in order to take effect. If guake was already open when gnome-shell is restarted (whether hidden or not), then guake becomes somehow unusable.
Whatever processes were active in guake's tabs continue without problem, but keyboard shortcuts like moving between tabs are not possible. Also, it's not possible to open new tabs either. Finally, selecting "Quit" from guake's tray icon doesn't have any effect and the only way to end it is by killing it ---which is not so straightforward, since the name of the process is simply "python".
