This doesn't seem to change the behaviour. Detaching or killing the
screen session with c-d still gives me

,----
| [detached from 6780.byobu]
| Connection to home.orangesquash.org.uk closed.
`----

btw, another way to fix my use case would be an option to have byobu
detach other attached sessions when I connect from somewhere else.

Cheers,
