Re: rename each screen according to hostname

I run screen on remote servers. All servers have something like this
in my user's .bashrc:

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;address@hidden:\[\0
33[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

That gives me a prompt and window titles that incorporate the
servername, like the following (cut'n'pasted from the window list):

 12 address@hidden:~/src/gplus-0.40.00
 13 address@hidden:~/mense/jean_jordaan/smsbackup

On my local machine, the screen escape key is ctrl-z. On remote ones,
I leave it as ctrl-a. That way, the right screen gets the message when
I join a remote screen session from a window of the local session.
