Where does guake reside in ~/.

I'm trying to find where guake holds its settings on the user's desktop - it's not matching the settings I've set up for it, and I need to reset that folder for it and re-do it. Does it pit directly off the user's .bashrc and .bash_profile, or is there a .guake folder or file anywhere that can be reset for guake directly? Regular terminal is behaving correctly, and matches what I've set up in .bashrc and .bash_profile.
I've searched for it in ~/. , and find guake nowhere but insignificant things:

Code: Select all

guake-0.4.4-4.el6.i686.rpm - the installation rpm in /Downloads - that's all this is

I really wish I could get Tilda working for this thing. It's much more stable than guake. In fact, I'm tempted to reinstall with Mageia for the KDE netbook edition, just to get a few packages working that I need.

Still, this is curious. Thanks.

More info here. gnome-terminal is correct; the colors, the prompt, etc., and it's what I have guake set to as well. When you look at guake however, the colors are messed up, and I can't even see what I'm typing. It shouldn't be this way, and it needs a reset I think to correct it. It used to be correct, but what it's doing now, is what it would switch to when I'd go su - in it:

Gnome terminal (correct):

Guake terminal and preferences:
Image Image

You edit the settings in

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/guake

nano /usr/bin/guake
here you can set width and align it to the center etc.
nothing in ~/ AFAICT

OK, yeah, then I'm going to get something else on here post-haste (Mageia, SuSe, whatever). I'm not digging guake at all.

Thanks.
