drop-down stjerm terminal with screen and scrollbar

hi there,

I'm a awesome twm user, and rely a lot on stjerm (of the tilda/quake family) to get me a quick drop-down terminal whenever I need one.
love it, its brilliant does what it says on the tin, there's just one thing it doesn't do well for me:

I can't get a scrollbar working on stjerm while running screen, it just stays flat and it doesn't grow or srollback in anyway.
anyone out there using this combination ?

I need to copy/paste stuff from my screen terminal into other windows,
currently I have to ctrl-A [ , scrollback copy the contents of the screen into clipboard and paste into other applications, then scroll forward one screen, copy into clipboard/paste, scroll forward, etc.

if I don't use screen, just a normal xterm while starting stjerm then it works fine and I can use the scrollbar on the right hand side.
any tips of how I can get this working with screen ?
