There is a bug report on this:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268846
and that report points to some other links:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-April/msg00451.html
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570588
one of which contains a patch to fix it. However, I am not smart
enough to know how to use/apply this patch. Can someone clarify for
me please? I've never done such a process before.
Try this sequence:
1. Start xterm.
2. type cd /usr/portage/x11-terms/gnome-terminal.
3. nano files/gconf.patch.
4. Switch to browser, select the lines of the patch (everything from
below the equal-sign-line to html horizontal separator).
5. Middle-click xterm window should paste the patch there.
6. Switch to xterm, Ctrl+O, Enter (Save). Ctrl+X (Quit).
7. nano gnome-terminal-XXX.ebuild where XXX is desired version number.
8. Put the following line inside braces below gnome_src_unpack line:
epatch ${FILESDIR}/gconf.patch
9. Ctrl+O, Enter (Save). Ctrl+X (Quit).
10. repoman manifest.
11. emerge gnome-terminal
Congrats, you've created your own patched ebuild ;)
Homework: put it into local overlay so it won't be wiped on sync.

By the way: on my host screen is working as expected in gnome-terminal. Steffen

I don't know anything about gnome-terminal, but it may be grabbing keystrokes. There is probably a config file somewhere in your home directory, or in a system directory that might throw light on the matter. Have you asked on the screen mailing list -- others may have run into the same problem. Roger

I think that's because the remote machines do not understand this kind of terminal, and so fall back to 'dumb' or something like that. What's the problem with leaving TERM=xterm when under gnome-terminal? ... Isn't this a fine standard for all X terminals? Is there a gnome-terminal configuration somewhere that lets me set the TERM that I want? I'll have a look at gconf. gnome-terminal is actually doing things correctly at last. Only xterm should use TERM=xterm. (except if your NOT-xterm terminal supports _everything_ that xterm supports. And pretty much no one does. xterm is probably the most capable terminal and definitely not a least common denominator.) Sure it causes problems as most machines don't have proper settings for all possible terminals, but that is a bug on that system. You can add the settings yourself (in your home directory). Happily, I can't remember _how_ you did this. ;-) I read a good document on this issue somewhere but can't seem to locate it. Very likely a pointer to it is somewheres in this list's archives.
