hi kevin:
I tried that and it looks good, in terms that my apps inside screen now
get retained across X reboot...but then I find another issue that make
it hard to use this approach in practice:
it looks now I can't copy$paste between vim and other apps, or even
between vim instances I was running inside screen...
previously I can at least achieve that with following vim config:
if match($TERM, "screen")!=-1
set term=xterm
let g:GNU_Screen_used = 1
else
let g:GNU_Screen_used = 0
endif
function! InScreen(command)
return g:GNU_Screen_used ? 'screen '.a:command : a:command
endfunction
I double maybe this related to the fact that, with this approach now
screen (and all its child) is not a child of X, so it has problem to
access the X selections or clipboards...
any idea?
regards

hi Kevin:
thanks and that sounds exactly what my issue was.
I'll try start screen from outside of X and see if it is ok.

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!
