Bug Description

Binary package hint: screen

Is there any reason we can't have:

defutf8 on

in /etc/screenrc? The use case I have in mind is people using irssi in screen, neither of which enable UTF-8 by default, but I expect this shows up elsewhere. What I don't know is, are there things which are negatively effected? I've no memory of having encountered such problems.

It seems as though this may not be necessary, further investigation required.

I'll be glad to fix this in byobu's configuration, which provides a sane set of additional defaults for screen sessions started under byobu.
