[gentoo-user] Scrollback Buffer of "screen" in Gnome Terminal

[Alexander Skwar <listen@alexander.skwar.name>]

Hello.

I used to be able to start "screen" and then still be able to use the
"ordinary" scrollback buffer of Gnome Terminal; ie. I used to be able
to hit <Shift>+<Page Up> or <Shift>+<Page Down> to scroll up or down.
In xterm, I'm still able to do so, but no more in Gnome Terminal.

alexander@blatt ~ $ gnome-terminal --version
Gnome gnome-terminal 2.14.2

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 10. Sep 23:20 /var/db/pkg/x11-terms/gnome-terminal-2.14.2-r1

I know about the screen buffer and that I can scroll by hitting 
<Ctrl>+<a>,<esc> followed by <Cursor Up> or <Cursor Down>. I'm not
talking about this buffer.

What do I have to change, so that I'm able to use the Gnome Terminal
buffer even when I'm inside a screen session?

To get this behaviour, I did:

1) start by running "gnome-terminal"
2) start screen session by running "screen"
3) get some output, eg. by running "ls -laR /"
4) press <Shift>+<Pg Up>

Expected behaviour: It scrolls up; I see older output.

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
