In a nutshell, they are discussing changing GNOME Terminal to "speak" GNU screen -- automatically attach to existing screen sessions, option to automatically enter a screen session when starting a new Terminal session, list screen "screens" as tabs in Terminal (or through some other chrome), couple scrolling so that the scrollbar in Terminal scrolls in screen, and generally making screen integration transparent to the user. As a heavy G-T and screen user, I am very excited about this proposal. It sounds like to make it feasible they would have to modify screen to expose library functions, in order to not wind up parsing the low-level terminal codes.
