It sounds like gqview is trying to use the whole screen and RP won't let it.  
You can probably get the same effect by doing 
 rp -c fdump -c only > .rp-fdump
and 
 rp -c 'frestore .rp-fdump'
to get the frameset back.

I use xzgv.  It has an `almost' full-screen (~2px border).  Being
based on the console/SVGA-based zgv, the keyboard support is
excellent.
