I know, but OP never confirmed they checked.
Just so if it wasn't obvious, I did check and no there is no .guake.desktop in my /home/shirish/

For the person asking about it the keyboard shortcuts for opening and closing the guake shell work, they do as expected, F11 which is the default and F12 for the whole window rather than the one I shared. F12 basically makes the shell whole-screen while F11 just partially, so you could fire a command or a series and the command is processed in the background while you are doing something else.

Other k/b shortcuts do differ, for e.g. in guake CTRL+T is for new tab while in KDE terminal it is CTRL+Shift+Tab. Also there are slight differences between the shells themselves. If I were in a KDE/QT session that would be cool but now when I am in mate-session.which is more or less entirely gtk+ based

That's actually the reason why I use mate over GNOME, still have the functionality without the memory bloat (arguable) but that's for another time altogether :)

In the screen shot you posted, it looks like it actually is the drop down terminal called "yakuake", which is based on the KDE terminal (konsole).

One thing to try:
Open a normal Mate terminal and run "guake" and see what happens.
Next try the same with "yakuake".

Edit: I am not sure of the exact commands to start "guake" and "yakuake" from a command line. I do not use any of them.

Edit: As far as I have read, "yakuake" also uses F12 as shortcut. Could you somehow have installed it and it has "taken over" the shortcut from "guake"?

Which settings and where ?

If you right click on the guake icon in the system tray and then select preferences.
Oh I did. Anyways, I did find the solution which is not a solution, just remove kde-terminal once and for all. That took care of that problem :(
