Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: screen-profiles
Use case:
1. Open a gnome-terminal
2. Run screen
3. The menu appears
4. Select the "plain" profile and exit the menu
5. Run screen to start the "plain profile". For the user, apparently, nothing
happens, but the screen process is now attached to the terminal.
6. The user runs now screen-profiles to select ubuntu-dark
7. The help states: "Exit and run again screen to apply the new profile"
8. The user exists and runs "screen". Nothing happens, the ubuntu-dark is not
applied.
BUG: The problem here is that the "screen" process is still running, so
what the user is doing is running a screen process, from the already
running screen process. The user needs to type "exit" first to detach
from the terminal, and then run again "screen" to apply the new profile.
SOLUTION: A possible solution would be that, if the user tries to run
"screen" from a screen process, instead of starting a nested screen
process, a message would be print "Please, exit the current screen by
typing "exit" before you try to run another screen"

Selecting the plain profile might confuse the user when trying to change the
