    I've tried with only -r but it doesn't work as I have no open
screen session.

    But I've tried it with no argument at all (just `screen`), and it
still has the defunct processes.

    Strange enough, it seems that only when using screen under X, it
behaves like this... (Directly in a VT works ok.)

    Ciprian.
