I have no problem with control-g now, i've been testing screen-profiles since the start and at the beginning it was quite hard (sometimes i still type cntrl-a before remembering that it's -g) but now i'm quite used to that, is just a change, as when someone change from an OS to other that is going to feel weird at the beginning but will love at the end.
I'm happy with -g, but as kees said, that's what .screenrc is for.
