clear(1) after detach in GNU screen

Question

I run irssi in screen and I want screen to automatically blank the terminal (scrollback) after detach. I found out that screen has a command called "blanker" that can clear the screen, but I don't see a way to do it automatically after detach (whether remote or via C-a d).

Thanks in advance

Had the same problem with urxvt. Found the fix here:

in .Xdefaults:

urxvt*termName: rxvt-256color 

in .screenrc

term rxvt-256color
