That's all as it should be. Sorry I wasn't clear! With my .emacs: * the region face definition (above) looks right * transient-mark-mode is on * the region is active * I *cannot* see the region!

I should also point out that I had this problem with emacs21 immediately after upgrading Ubuntu to gutsy, and then upgraded to emacs22 in the (mistaken) hope of fixing it.
