I don't think we should change semantics like that. The manpage says:
A Screen section is considered “active” if it is referenced
by an active ServerLayout section or by the -screen command line
option. If neither of those is present, the first Screen section found
in the config file is considered the active one.
Same goes for ServerLayout.
