Details:

I have noticed in terminal emulators where TERM=xterm, exiting screen returns
the cursor to where it was upon entering screen.  However, it does not clear
the terminal, which sometimes leads to garbled results.

In src/etc/etcscreenrc, 'ti' is being set (to \E7\E[?47l) for xterm|xterms|xs
but 'te' is not.  When one is set (or re-set as it were), the other should be
too.  I think one of these choices for 'te' would be best:
 1. te=
 2. te=\E[H\E[2J

Choice 2 matches the standard terminfo 'clear' for xterm, and is the one I
prefer.  Choice 1 does not clear the terminal, but does avoid the strange
results by exiting at the bottom of the terminal.
