If you only make simple use of screen, then there's always tmux.  It uses
ctl+b by default, and one of the reasons is the issue you mention.

(If you have a lot of complex uses of screen, then it becomes a bigger deal
to learn the new keyboard shortcuts, but many people just use it's attach
and deteach feature, and relearning those in tmux takes a few minutes.)

If you are interested in trying it, I have my own very simple page with
links to a better page at http://srobb.net/screentmux.html
