OK, I confused myself because I can't do maths; but this is actually pretty 
simple.  'The screenrect' for the Fire returns "0,0,600,1024"; 'the working 
screenrect' returns "0,40,600,964", which correctly reflects a 40 pixel status 
bar, and 60 pixels for the control bar at the bottom (though NB the shadow of 
the latter protrudes a few more pixels).  The rect of the stack is 
"0,0,600,924", which correctly describes the space in which you can work.

So my guess is that you are currently positioning your bottom elements using 
the screenrect; whereas if you used the height of the stack it would fix this 
problem.
