Well I've noticed that neither screen, nor the windows inside it count  
as a 'session' for the purposes of deciding whether to unmount $HOME  
or not.  Which means you can leave things running that may access  
$HOME at some point (while not necessarily preventing it from being  
unmounted).  It would be pretty easy to have some weird results when  
some things are written to the encrypted $HOME while others are not.
