In this condition, no commands seem to work.
When in this state, can you run 'screen -ls' from another terminal, and see if it lists an existing session (as 'Dead'/'Detached'/'Attached')? I am thinking maybe xterm starts screen before it has the specified geometry, and doesn't send screen a size-changed signal, or it does send the signal but screen ignores it. Could you try the version from git and see if you continue to see this problem?
