Interesting timing: just two days ago, I spent a good part of my afternoon making "emacs -nw" running inside GNU screen to look more or less exactly the way my standard windowed Emacs looks. That included mostly fiddling with terminal settings and finding colors that are supported by the terminal and resemble my original choices (and some other tweaking here and there).<p>Now clickong on my Emacs icon on the desktop will open a new gnome-terminal that runs an Emacs inside screen -- it looks pretty much the same as it did before, but I can access and take over my current session remotely from home.
As a matter of fact, the shortcut will actually first check if there's a detached screen session that runs emacs and ask me in a small dialog window if I want to re-attach to that session or start a new window.<p>Makes me happy.<p>Sorry if that post is of no interest at all to anyone else on HN but me...
