Ah, I believe that's a different problem.  On my system, screen 
doesn't behave that way...  I assume it's a configuration option. 
However it's not really a problem, because screen manages its own 
scrollback buffer, since many terminals don't have such a thing.  You 
have to use screen's native scrollback features, which are activated 
by CTRL-A-ESC by default, and deactivated by ESC by default, IIRC. 
Check out screen's man page for more details.

Gnome's terminal program does not, as far as I know, use X resources 
at all.  There's probably a way to do it from gnome-term's 
configuration menus, but I don't use gnome-terminal -- strongly 
prefering the original xterm -- so I'm not overly familiar with it.
