Phil,
I feel your pain. I'm dealing with the same top page issue as well. Back in March, the author said he was going on vacation for a week and would fix it upon his return.
He hasn't posted in his forum since then.
I've been getting around it by not using CJay for my top page. You can hard code the page that will load first, but that will short circuit the ability to show certain modules only on the top page. If that's not an issue for you, I can dig it up for you, or I'm sure somebody here can tell you off the top of their head.
If it is an issue, have you tried Tiny Content or TinyD?
John
