Screen currently checks the value of $TERM explicitly for "xterm*" and "rxvt*", to find out whether mouse support is available (among other things), and also checks for its own special "XT" termcap.

It would be better to check for "Km" (terminfo "kmous"), which terminfo/ncurses use to explicitly denote Xterm-style mouse support, and which is in the X/Open Curses standard. "XT" could still imply "Km=\E[M", for backwards compatibility.
