"Works for me." Switching between some different values of LANG and
LC_ALL made no difference, either. Changing fonts didn't make /much/
difference, although some monospace fonts did not contain the requisite
characters (I got blanks instead). The only difference is if I run
modconf inside `screen`, in which case the lines don't display properly.
Now, it does appear that gnome-terminal claims to emulate xterm, but
perhaps there is some libzvt bug that manifests when using screen.
Hmm...yes, I suspect this is the case (works fine outside of screen,
but not correctly inside screen, although I think the culprit is
gnome-terminal, not screen.
