I've just switched to 23 and find commands like `C-x C-b' open a
vertical buffer on the right instead of a horizontal buffer at the
bottom.

Also, it seems I cannot create a region without highlighting the
selection.  I prefer the old default in 22.

How can I fix these things?

Hm. Sorry. Don't know about this. Might be you have an extremely wide
window to start with?

Have a look at the variables split-height-threshold, split-width-threshold,
split-window-preferred-function.

You want to switch off transient-mark-mode. For the current session you
just say "M-x transient-mark-mode", this toggles the current setting; if
you want it permanently, "M-x customize-variable RET transient-mark-mode"
and follow the instructions.

Have you tried reading the NEWS?  If it doesn't mention those things,
then please come back and complain,
