Description
**Describe the bug**
Guake is opening on the wrong screen, despite the "Appear on mouse display" option being selected. This appears to be a recent issue for me as I didn't notice it before, however I've also just upgraded Ubuntu to 24.04.2 LTS. I'm running version 3.10 of Guake.
**Expected behavior**
When I press my shortcut key (F1 that I have bound) Guake should open on the monitor with the mouse cursor on.
**Actual behavior**
It opens on the last monitor which had certain apps selected. E.g. It will open on the last monitor that had an instance of Chrome focused (so moving Chrome around and pressing F1 will shift which monitor it opens on) but it won't respect the general cursor position and other applications having focus (e.g. SublimeText) won't cause Guake to follow.
**To Reproduce**
For me, install Ubuntu latest, install latest Guake trying using the shortcut to open the terminal on different monitors (I've got 3). See if it tracks.
