recent (since last year) versions of screen add you use back-color-erase (bce)
to its terminfo description - so that would save on painting things to the
background color.
bce [on|off]
Change background-color-erase setting. If "bce" is set to
on, all characters cleared by an erase/insert/scroll/clear
operation will be displayed in the current background
color. Otherwise the default background color is used.
screen uses 'vt100' if there's nothing more suitable (and it isn't really
emulating vt100 anyway - it's "compatible", which is not the same thing).
