I always apply attached patch that apple apparently uses for its
shipped screen w/o probs.

FWIW, I can't reproduce this. Is this within Terminal.app?
Because there nsterm family is recommended -- only works up to
nsterm-16color though with recent ncurses.

Within X11 xterm both xterm-256color and xterm-256color-bce work
for me -- personally I prefer w/o bce as in some apps (mutt) the
drawing of menu bars do not span the whole width.

This is on MacOS 10.4.11. For Leopard I don't know.
