IMHO this warning must not mean that much. AFAIU it's always switched on, if the state was changed. That doesn't mean present state must differ from state as variable was set. Think at the result of (buffer-modified-p) If you open a file, it says nil, not modified. If you insert a char and delete it afterwards, buffer contents is as opened, however considered modified by (buffer-modified-p). `transient-mark-mode' AFAIK might have been set on and off by several functions during execution, usually restoring the state before, however that depends from the functions called. So set it to your need and forget the warning unless more indications counsel otherwise. Andreas R=F6hler
