If sudo would chown the terminal, then the original user couldn't access
it any more, which would be much worse. Realistically this is an
inherent design decision in Linux' terminal system and won't change
anytime soon.

Usually you should first start screen and then sudo in that.

** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
