[Lxc-users] Exiting container inside a screen session

1. type ctrl-a ctrl-a to tell screen you want to hit a ctrl-a

2. use screen with a different escape sequence.  I often use
	screen -e^Yy
   in a terminal, with dvtm inside that, and from there I will launch
   byobu-screen or byobu-tmux using ctrl-a, or lxc consoles, without
   having to escape.
