Judging from what you wrote above screen is not ivolved in your setup ?! 
Anyway - if you want you problem solved, please, exlpain the exact setup 
both on the client and on the server. I.e. what terminal emulator are you 
running on the client machine (the one you ssh from), what does TERM 
contain when you login on the server, what does it contain after your 
start screen, etc, etc. If you have changed any configuration files, 
environment variables, etc, in your attempts to fix the problem you 
have to let us know what were those changes.
