I used to use Guake but felt the need sometimes to be able to resize/move terminal open next to a window, say, for comparing something. So I instead setup a script to run a regular terminal such that it a) starts a terminal instance if none are running b) activates the terminal window if an instance is running and c) presses alt-tab to switch away from terminal if the terminal window is active. The script is bound to a shortcut key so basically I get the Guake type functionality (without the fancy drop-down of course) + can treat the terminal as just another window on the desktop.
