I currently use a set of scripts to save screen sessions. They preserve:
- Session and window titles/numbers
- Scrollback/history/working dir for bash instances
- Vim session saving

It's all explained in this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/screen-users/2009-08/msg00015.html

I included the scripts I use in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/screen-users/2009-08/msg00024.html

In that archive you can look into:
SESSION_demo/main/screenrc
SESSION_demo/main/save_screenrc
SESSION_demo/main/bashrc

Specifically to see how a bash window is saved/loaded with the scripts. From 
there you could make scripts that better suit your taste.
