Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: guake

Guake doesn't have a way to configure the window-width (which is fine),
except in gconf (which is also fine; this is a minority thing to want to
do). However, if you do set the window_width in gconf
(/apps/guake/general/window_width) then it's ignored: the relevant
section of the code is:


    def get_final_window_rect(self):
        """Gets the final size of the main window of guake. The height
        is the window_height property, width is window_width and the
        horizontal alignment is given by window_alignment.
        """
        screen = self.window.get_screen()
        height = self.client.get_int(KEY('/general/window_height'))
        width = 100
        halignment = self.client.get_int(KEY('/general/window_halignment'))
#

Note that width is hardcoded to 100 rather than loaded from gconf.

the reason this is important is that when running Unity the Guake
terminal needs to be narrower than 100% of the width of the screen
because of the unity launcher on the left.
