I like Gnu screen, but the choice of CTRL-A as the command sequence is
extremely unfortunate.  Like many other bash users, I use CTRL-A to
get back to the beginning of the line (emacs editing mode).

How do you all get around this problem?  Also, I'm wondering if there
is an easy way to get mouse scrolling to work when reviewing terminal
history in screen.  It's a pain in the arse to CTRL-A then ESC to be
able to scroll back.
