I really like gnu screen and use it everyday but there's one thing that is a bit inconvenient, and that's the odd line wrapping and terminal size issues that seem to pop up. The problem crops up when I type or paste a really long command, and then go back and try to edit it; the text starts to wrap over itself and you have no idea what you are editing. Any fixes for this?
I've given up on screen and switched to "NX" for recoverable sessions. It works with X windows, the personal version is free for up to two simultaneous connections, and there are even hooks in CentOS not found in RHEL for the "nx" and "freenx" tools.
It works *much* better than installing a $500 X server on the Windows client side, too.
