Running either 'w' or 'who' on Oneiric (Guake terminal emulator) produces no output. Plus, Gnome Terminal shows that I'm logged in on pts/1, which is wrong, because I'm also using Guake.
I have been a heavy user of reverse-search-history( Ctrl+R ) functionality in gnome-terminal(Default terminal client in Ubuntu). Recently I started using Guake drop-down terminal in my system. Loved Guake for its easy access, but couldn't find any revere-search-history functionality or key-mapping for it. Is there such a thing available for Guake, or is there any workaround solutions for it?
Guake is a top-down terminal for Gnome, in the style of Yakuake for KDE, Tilda or the terminal used in Quake.
Guake’s properties window supports configuring keyboard shortcuts, appearences, main window height, etc. Unfortunately, the width is fixed and maximal.
Guake Preferences
Guake is available in Ubuntu universe repository.
Talking about Terminal, we have been working on the same default terminal for a long time. Why not change it a little. Keeping this in mind, we have selected two cool alternatives to replace the default Ubuntu terminal for your basic to advanced operations. Both of them are unique in their own way and serve the main stream purposes as well as some special purposes.
Guake is a drop-down terminal allowing you to invoke it with just a key press. Guake supports hotkeys, tabs, transparent background and many other features.
A new version of Guake, version 0.4.4 was released recently with new features and fixes.

Quake is a first person shooter game and design inspiration for Guake Terminal Emulator came from consoles in computer games such as Quake which slide down from the top of the screen when a key is pressed, and slide back up when the key is pressed again. Guake is originally inspired from KDE's Yakuake.
A drop-down terminal can save you a lot of time. Always handy, it appears when you press a combination of keys on your keyboard (usually a plain-and-simple F12 key). KDE has Yakuake.
Just installed guake - terminal emulator.
How can I get to preferences to customize it?
I don't seem to have any if the normal menu's available.
I searched everything on their help site to no avail.
I use Ubuntu 11
Is there a way to keep the guake terminal from cutting off text at the far right?
At the edge of the terminal I have the words elevator that and on the right all I see is elevato and continuing on the next line it starts with t. So r space that is being cut off.
