 Try to use window manager in setup. I've added Matchbox also; you'll 
 have the X top-right corner to close application.

I've done the same to fix it in my device. It works well. Use fullscreen 
option in tango/foxtrot then you save the X space.

thanks for the suggestions guys, that worked great.

i've got a further problem now though: i can't get a gps fix. i've
installed gpsd, and the port it pushes its data to is the same as the
port tangogps looks on, but no go. i've left it outside in areas where
i've previously got a good signal (with shr and other distros), so i'm
sure it's the software. is there another component in the gps stack i
need - there's nothing on the qtmoko or openmoko wiki about it

You must indicate in gpsd config file the device to use or init it by profile 
QX file in tangogps/foxtrot entry.

this is my /etc/default/gpsd content:

# Default settings for gpsd.
# Please do not edit this file directly - use `dpkg-reconfigure gpsd' to
# change the options.
START_DAEMON=true
GPSD_OPTIONS=
DEVICES=/dev/ttySAC1
USBAUTO=false
GPSD_SOCKET=/var/run/gpsd.sock

I get fix in few seconds.

tanggogps installed, used via QX.

the problem is, when i run tango, it only uses 3/4 of the screen

then, if i hit 'info' to show the config, etc., that takes up around a
1/3 of the screen, and can't be closed, plus i can't read all the info
on the different tabs. i've tried 'rotate screen' in the qx setup for

You can play with various settings. They can be activated from menu when you 
stand on the TangoGPS item. If you choose to use matchbox window manager all 
should be ok.
