So, you're saying that emacs can't just figure it out from the
terminfo and the following:

% cat ~/.emacs/term/screen.el
;;; From http://www.xvx.ca/~awg/emacs-colors-howto.txt

;;; This is for GNU Emacs 22
(defun terminal-init-screen ()
  "Terminal initialization function for screen."
  ;; Use the xterm color initialization code.
  (load "term/xterm")
  (xterm-register-default-colors)
  (tty-set-up-initial-frame-faces))
%

Because that seems to have worked pretty well for me in Emacs 22/23 so far.
