I changed the dashboard.css settings as follows:

#crm-container .column-0 {
  /* width: 40%; */
  width: 90%;
}

#crm-container .column-1 {
  /* width: 60% */
  width: 10%;
}

That took care of the full screen part of the question.

NOTE: we're only using the Activities dashlet, so the other column was not being used.  If you have dashlets in both columns, this isn't going to work that well for you.

The difference between the URL that is currently used and what would probably force a reload is "&resetCache=1".

http://example.com/civicrm/dashboard?reset=1&resetCache=1

I've tried a text search of the entire download, but I can't find where this is set (it would be after you would create or edit a new activity).

Unfortunately this is pretty much the only item in the navigation menu which is hard-coded (and can't be modified in the DB or simply by changing the Navigation configuration.

The code which defines the 'Home' navigation element URL is in CRM/Core/BAO/Navigation.php

$homeURL       = CRM_Utils_System::url( 'civicrm/dashboard', 'reset=1');

... but we don't recommend changing core code files :-( (If you do, you'll need to access the civicrm/menu/rebuild?reset=1 URL to get the new value inserted in your navigation menu.

One approach might be to implement a postProcess hook on the Activity form which invokes CRM_Core_BAO_Dashboard::resetDashletCache( ); whenever an Activity is added or updated.

Dave's suggestion seems to work (why would I be surprised at that?)! 

Please refer to the wiki page below for info on how to create your custom hook.

I have 2 items in the example that are commented out below; the first allows you to see the Civi formName after you perform the operation in question (in my case 'CRM_Activity_Form_Activity').  The second allows you to see your include_path in order to get the correct path to the file you need to perform the required operation.

Note that this change causes the dashlet to load more slowly than otherwise, but a refresh is not required.

function example_civicrm_postProcess( $formName, &$form ) {
 
  //drupal_set_message($formName);
 
  if ($formName == 'CRM_Activity_Form_Activity') {
   
    //drupal_set_message (ini_get('include_path'));
   
    require 'CRM/Core/BAO/Dashboard.php';
    CRM_Core_BAO_Dashboard::resetDashletCache( );
  }
}
