Ping, If you start screen from an X session, then screen is a child of X. So when X dies, so does screen. To do what you want, you would have to start screen outside of X.
There are many ways to do this. For example, you could start a screen session at boot time from rc.local. Or you could just switch to a different tty (e.g. ctrl-alt-F2) and start a new screen session there. Then go back to X (ctrl-alt-F7) and reattach to that screen session.
