OS X Clipboard access when started from GNU screen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I start MacVim using mvim from a shell within a GNU screen virtual
terminal (started in Terminal.app), I cannot copy from/paste to the OS X
clipboard.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Open Terminal.app, start screen, open file with mvim. Attempt to copy/paste
with the OS X clipboard either via command keys, or using the Edit menu.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Copy/paste with the OS X Clipboard does not function.

What version of MacVim are you using (check the "MacVim->About MacVim" menu
item)? On which processor and version of OS X (check the "Apple Menu->About
This Mac" menu item)?

Version 7.2 stable 1.2 (33.3)

Please provide any additional information below.

When I start MacVim with mvim directly from a shell inside of Terminal.app,
copy/paste works correctly. 

Additionally, I've noted that GNU screen (this is the version provided with
OS X 10.5.5) has issues with access to the user's login keychain. While
this is unrelated, I have a feeling that Apple has "security features" to
separate screen sessions from the GUI environment. Disabling clipboard
access may be one of them, in which case there isn't much the MacVim
developers can do to solve this problem.

Sorry, I just noticed this is a duplicate to Issue 106. Possibly the additional
information in my post will help.

Please file a bug report with whoever is developing screen.  Perhaps this 
should be reported directly to Apple?
