This seems to also affect me. I have tilda starting up automatically with the Gnome session, but when I push the hotkey, there's no shell (zsh), only a black window.
The context menu of the window is working, new tab / close tab are working but no shell appears.
The solution for me was to use properties and to replace the default shell with a custom command, "zsh". This way it's working for me.

Description: A shell with lots of features
Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an
interactive login shell and as a shell script command
processor. Of the standard shells, zsh most closely resembles
ksh but includes many enhancements. Zsh has command-line editing,
built-in spelling correction, programmable command completion,
shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and a
host of other features.

I've attached a strace log on tilda, with it configured to run the default shell, from a gnome terminal. After pressing the hotkey and waiting for a couple of seconds (tilda window pops up but no zsh), i've ctrl+c'd strace.
