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.

guys:
I use screen for years and I'm happy with it.
one thing annoyed me a lot is everytime when i need to reload X
(it's not stable), and when I come back and find everything in my
screen (vim, news, mutt, telnet, ssh,...everything) also went
away, the session/windows are there though. searching the internet
I haven't got much useful info.
people are saying they use screen to get persistent sessions
across X...how can i archive that?
thanks!
