I use a mixed environment. My servers are FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and about 5 different linux distros.
I can only get consistent screen output if I use Xterm.
rxvt, Alcrtty (sp?), Konsole, Gnome Terminal and all others that I have tried mungle ncurses, and/or other screen decorations (like using ASCII +------+, or TAB/Space, "decorations").
Even if I do get rxvt dialed in from one client, if I connect from a different workstation with a different client it's all a mess again.
I know xterm is the slowest of the bunch, but it always works with minimal putzing.
