Users screen + su - + screen with terminfo error

[Yann Rouillard]

I just checked but everything is fine.
Indeed if you type screen then "su -", you will lose your environment and
hence the TERMINFO variable defined initially by screen.

As advised by Maciej, you should configure this environment variable in
your default environment so that it works in a fresh login session.
