Is there any reason that I shouldn't put this command into the default
/etc/screenrc file?  Are there terminal types for which it would cause problems?

I just tried this with a DOS terminal, which doesn't support 256 colors AFAIK. 
It didn't make any difference that I could tell.

Maybe I'll put out another test release with that change, and see if anyone
complains.
