K5 Remove top status bar from kindle touch?

Hello,

I have a jailbroken Kindle Touch that I'm using as an e-ink dashboard to display images with the eips/fbink utilities. However after displaying the image, sometimes part of the Kindle's top status-bar gets re-drawn over the image. Is there a way to prevent this or a service/process I can kill to prevent it from happening?

Example:


Thanks.
