Thanks for the suggestion but that's not really an option here - many of 
the systems I'm logging into don't have the requisite bits available to 
use freenx and are not under my direct control. Using one host as a 
"gateway" where all the terminal windows live would also be a bit 
restrictive for the way that I work.

I'm guess I'm pretty settled in my ways with screen etc. and it fits 
nicely into the way I like to organise my work. Screen did not have this 
behavior back in FC6, so it appears that something changed in the meantime.

I've tried FreeNX and for what it does, it's definitely a big step up 
from vnc etc., but I'd still like screen to work the way it used to - 
it's a bit of a "from my cold dead hands" issue I guess :-)
