Re: all apps in my screen lost across X reboot

Ping,

If you start screen from an X session,  then screen is a child of X. So when
X dies, so does screen. To do what you want, you would have to start screen
outside of X.

There are many ways to do this. For example, you could start a screen
session at boot time from rc.local. Or you could just switch to a different
tty (e.g. ctrl-alt-F2) and start a new screen session there. Then go back to
X (ctrl-alt-F7) and reattach to that screen session.
