At the bottom of my bashrc, I have this:

# automatically invoke screen if we're not in a session already
if [ -x `which screen` ] && [ "$TERM" != "screen" ] && [ "$DISPLAY" != ":0"
] && [ "$DISPLAY" != ":0.0" ]; then
    # -xRR will attach without detaching other sessions
    screen -xRR
fi

The $DISPLAY checks are because I usually don't want screen in a local xterm
(well, Konsole) session.
