Closing out, since it's not a bug, and isn't fixable.

This is correct behaviour. unfortunatly.
ssh implements X11 forwarding with its -X option, see there for reference.
We have not implemented such a forwarding in screen.

you can try to workaround like this:

do
$ echo $DISPLAY
in your terminal before reattaching screen.
then after reattaching,
go into each shell of screen, and say
$ export DISPLAY=....

Screen has no way to do this itself, as DISPLAY is an environment variable, and once a process is running, nothing except that process can change its environment.

if I quit my X session and retach screen, and than for example I start "xrdb -load .Xdefaults" , then it gives me following message:

No protocol specified
xrdb: Resource temporarily unavailable
xrdb: Can't open display ':0'
