When I use TeXmacs as presentation tool I change same settings from my usual 
configuration:

Document -> View -> Informative Flags -> None (Don't show informative flags)
Document -> Page -> Type -> Paper (To know where it's the ending of the 
slides)
Document -> Orientation -> Landscape

One of the problems about using TeXmacs as presentation tool is the selection 
of the size of the paper (Document -> Page -> Size -> Other). Usually I use 
A4 but the screen has a different aspect ratio. After some trials I found 
that the best size for my screen is 30cm (width) and 19cm (height).

Usually I don't use TeXmacs directly for my presentations. When my 
presentation is ready I export it as a pdf. I use a pdf reader as 
presentation player. Most of the readers let you show the document in full 
screen mode and can adjust automatically the pages to the screen size if it's 
necessary.

I cannot think a much better solution than yours. My solution is instead of 
writing the name of the author directly in the author field, put first a 
table with two cells. In one cell you can write the name and in the other 
insert the logo. I know that it is not a very elegant solution.

Regards,

Javier
