Current 'best' version is '/usr/bin/guake'.

that guake got set to the best version for me because somehow it got a priority of 50, winning out over gnome-terminal.wrapper. doing a --config allowed me to specify gnome-terminal.wrapper again, and Ctrl-Alt-t starting working as expected. Could be that this is caused for some by something during the upgrade to Vivid causing priorities to shift, and something unexpected like guake to be what actually happens when Ctrl-Alt-t is pressed.
