Maximize your view in Emacs
Because of the small screen size, every single row and column counts in displaying text. Here is a trick to have Emacs display in the whole screen on your Z.
(Go directly to Step 2 if you are not using GTKTerm2 to launch Emacs)
Step 1: Maximize view in GTKTerm2
Run GTKTerm2 with this:
gtkterm2 -s --win-height=52
(-s = "Stealth" mode; --win-height = number of rows)
Or you can edit /usr/share/applications/gtkterm2.desktop once and for all.
Then GTKTerm2 will run without any window thingies (frame, scroll bar, menu tool bar) but only a big box filling up the display. (You should use a slightly lower window height, say 48, in Matchbox because the matchbox panel is not collapsible and may block the view of the last few rows.
If you want to reclaim the remaining few rows at the bottom, then maximize the window, in the same way as in any other application, e.g. Ctrl-Alt-M in matchbox, and set you own keys in icewm in ~/.icewm/preferences
Step 2: Get rid of UI stuff in Emacs
Add these in your .emacs file:
(if (fboundp 'scroll-bar-mode) (scroll-bar-mode -1))
(if (fboundp 'tool-bar-mode) (tool-bar-mode -1))
(if (fboundp 'menu-bar-mode) (menu-bar-mode -1))
