Caption + scrolling?

[Basil Mohamed Gohar]

I used to use the following command to enable scrolling with the
mousewheel through the scrollback buffer in graphical terminals:

> termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@


I then discovered the caption feature, but upon enabling the caption,
the scrolling feature enabled by the termcapinfo piece above failed
working.  My full .screenrc is here:

> address@hidden ~]$ cat .screenrc
> startup_message off
> shell -${SHELL}
> defscrollback 100000

Is there a way that can have the benefit of both scrolling in graphical
terminals (e.g., gnome-terminal or mate-terminal) and also enjoy the
extra status and information afforded by the caption.
