  I love screen too.
  
  I really suggest doing three things when using screen:
  
      1. Having a screen number -> task convention (screen 0 is
              editor, screen 1 is mail, etc..).
  
      2. Using screen's bindkey to let you jump easily between the
              various screens. I use the GTK-tabbed-view-compatible
              alt-# convention.

      One important difference between screen and a tabbed
      terminal window is the client-server nature of screen. You
      can have more than one screen client attach to a given
      screen daemon. I leave a screen daemon running on my
      machines for months, and detach when I leave the office,
      then later ssh in from home and reattach. No X forwarding,
      rdesktop, or VNC required -- just plain ssh, and I'm right
      where I left off.

  I have exactly the same problem with C-a C-k; C-g has a useful meaning in emacs too, though. I use "escape ^zz" instead; most of the times I'd have used job control before are now handled via a different or new screen instead, after all.
