customer/home.tpl. Simply remove the <br> tags after each one you want to eliminate the space from. For example, for categories, remove the <br/> from this code:

{if $categories ne "" and ($active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne "" or $config.General.root_categories eq "Y" or $subcategories ne "")}
{include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
<br />
{/if}

To move them around, simply move the includes in the code to the order you want them to appear. Make sense?
