Comment 6 for bug 848142

@Daniel Fett: guake's behavior, in relation to gnome-shell, is not because of a crash, but because of a restart of the shell (i.e., something like Alt+F2 followed by "gnome-shell --replace") ---in unity's case, it would be analogous to Alt+F2 followed by "compiz --replace" or something like that. If your case is different, maybe it's a different bug as well.
