My GNU Screen setup

Start outer screen session with

screen -c .screenrc.outer

And the inner session with

screen -m -c .screenrc

Then you're set up to use Ctrl-\ as the escape sequence in the inner session, and Ctrl-^ for the outer session. Detaching with Ctrl-^ d preserves the layout of the inner session.

Happy screen'ing.
