Guake support

[brandonskiser]

Tracking issue for adding support for the Guake terminal on Linux.

For what it's worth, starting qterm manually in guake works and I haven't noticed any issues with it.

This has been released as part of 1.6.0.

Hey @grant0417 thanks for the update. I am still seeing:

Unsupported terminal, if you believe this is a mistake or would like to see support for your terminal, run q issue

when I run q doctor, just a heads up.

@awakun have you checked after restarting guake? e.g. with pkill guake

Guake is a bit strange since it launches as a python script instead so we had to add some extra logic to check for it - can you confirm your installed version of Guake launches like mine? I checked by running

pstree -ps $$ # get your guake_pid
cat /proc/${guake_pid}/cmdline

Which outputs something like /usr/bin/python3/usr/bin/guake, essentially using python to launch guake

After reinstalling, q doctor is happy with Guake now, no issues left. Thanks for adding this support so quickly!
