  Great.

  OK that's good then.

  If I were you I'd try running, as this user:

    xen-shell

  That should give no errors, and present you with the xen-shell.
  If it gives you errors then that is why screen is exiting.

   If there are no errors next try running:

    screen -d -R -c /etc/xen-shell/_screenrc  -e^Aa -s /usr/bin/xen-shell -S $USER

  That's the command that xen-login-shell eventually ends up running.
 It might that something is weird with the screen install you have,
 because that shouldn't fail.
