Congratulations! Emacs 22 is far, far better than Emacs 21 (IMHO).

I can't help with that. Hopefully, someone else can.

In Emacs 21 transient-mark-mode is off by default also. Perhaps you had
something in your init file that turned it on? If you try `emacs -q
--no-site-file' in Emacs 21, I think you will see the same thing - no
transient-mark-mode, by default.

Sorry, I don't follow; perhaps someone else can help here. What is the *GNU
Emacs* buffer? If you start Emacs 22 with `emacs -Q', do you get a *GNU Emacs*
buffer? 

Perhaps you could describe just what you do to reproduce the problem, starting
with `emacs -Q'. (We can't debug an init file we know nothing about.)
