Hi, I'm using OpenBSD 4.2, a clean install.

I have experienced some problems using screen and X with colorsls. The
issue is that when I launch 'screen' on virtual terminals (C0,C1...) I
don't have any problem but when launch X, on the xterm/rxvt I have
open I can't launch a screen because the colors goes mad and shows
white on black combinations I have not set on my rxvt (I use some grey
tones combinations).

I have set an alias for ls='colorls -GF' (color output) and this causes
the problems on a screen session. I have set the TERM="xterm-color" on
my /etc/profile.

In other case, the issue inverts, I explain myself: If I set the TERM
variable to rxvt, or screen, or pcvt25 in my /etc/profile, the problem
of weird colorls outputs affects the virtual consoles (C0, C1...) but
not the X (rxvt/xterm windows).

I remind that this problem only apears when I launch a screen. I did not
posted my dmesg because I think it's not needed.

Thanks for your time.
 -Jesus.
