Comment:

 Adding this configuration in your .screenrc fixes this issue:

 {{{
 # Make erase work
 bindkey -d "\000" stuff "\010"

 # Make fn+erase work
 bindkey -d -k kD stuff "\010"
 }}}

 See http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=900.msg18234#msg18234
 for original source with explanation.

 Could we make the GNU screen package add this configuration automatically
 when installing GNU screen on OLPC?
