Maybe your problem is different than I'm thinking, but my first reaction is
to say you probably want to put "source /etc/profile" in your shell
configuration rather than screen, or use "/bin/bash --init-file
/etc/profile" as your shell to execute.  Which I think would be the
following.
shell "/bin/bash --init-file /etc/profile"
