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.
