I'm a very casual screen user. To scroll in a modern terminal emulator while running screen you have to hit <ctrl>-a <esc> (then <esc> to get out of scroll mode) ... to me it's a major annoyance, and probably why I'm a casual user. I suspect xterm is just too old to support whatever screen is doing.
