OK, this works great now, although I need to use the ssh-wrangling
script provided by Neil to manifest the window.  Thanks!

What's especially nifty is that I can start the screen session

the graphical frames are deleted using a terminal-emulator buffer within
Emacs itself.  It lends an Ouroboros-like quality to the proceedings.
