Description

Be sure to check the existing issues (both open and closed!), and make sure you are running the latest version of Guake.

For how to run the latest Guake in your computer, please refer to [Install from source](https://guake.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/installing.html#install-from-source).

**Describe the bug**

I have three display setup. This issue happens when I open a new tab after I moved the window from default display.
- When "Appear on mouse display" is disbled, upon opening a new tab, the Guake window jumps to "Appear on display" when it was previously moved to a different display
- When "Appear on mouse display" is enabled, upon opening a new tab, Guake window jumps to the display where mouse currently is.

**Expected behavior**

If I previously moved the window using keyboard shortcuts to a different display, not the default one, when I open a new tab, I want the Guake window to stay on the same display previously chosen, not the default display selected in preferences.

**Actual behavior**

When I hit CTRL-T to open a new tab, or also by clicking a new tab button, the window jumps to default display

**To Reproduce**

- Open Guake on multi display setup
- Move the Guake window to a display that is not set as default/to a display where your cursor is currently not at
- Open a new tab
- See the Guake window jump to the "Appear on display" display or to a display with mouse if "Appear on mouse display" is turned on

Please run `$ guake --support`, and paste the results here. Don't put backticks (`` ` ``) around it! The output already contains Markdown formatting. And make sure you run the command **OUTSIDE** the Guake.
