Because off org-mode I needed to upgrade Emacs. I now installed
22.3.1. Before I had a 21 version. I do not know wich one. I have now
a few problems.
I use flyspell. In the old version this used ispell, but the new
version wants to use aspell. I fixed this by putting into my .emacs:
(setq-default ispell-program-name "ispell")
Now ispell is used again.
In my .emacs I have:
(set-default 'ispell-local-dictionary "nederlands")
But this is not the dictionary used. When opening a buffer English
words are seen as correct, but Dutch words (nederlands) as not
correct. When I evaluate ispell-local-dictionary it says nederlands.
When I change the dictionary through tools->spell checking->change
dictionary to nederlands, ispell-local-dictionary still evaluates to
nederlands, but from then on Dutch words are seen as correct and
English words as incorrect.
What is happening here? And more important: how can I solve this?
On a side note: what are the differences between aspell and ispell?
Another change is that regions are not visible anymore. I put in
my .emacs:
(transient-mark-mode 1)
and now it works again. Are the defaults changed?
The last problem is that previously the *GNU Emacs* buffer would be
killed with any action I did. (Or C-l if I wanted it to be killed, but
did not want to do something.) Now I need to kill the buffer manually.
What is happening here.?

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.)

On another system I was allready working with 22. I did not see
differences. But offcourse it 'never' hurts to use the latest version.

I do not have the 21 version anymore, so I can not try that. But that
should not be the case. I only changed the version. My configuration
files did not change.

Then you get it yes. When starting with -q, there are the following
buffers:
.% *GNU Emacs* 810 Fundamental
*scratch* 191 Lisp Interaction
* *Messages* 81 Fundamental
It is the first buffer. But the problem is 'solved'. I copied the
configuration of the other Emacs. Now desktop save works again (it is
different in 21 and 22, the sime with hide toolbar). I closed the
buffer, that is saved, so the buffer will not show up anymore, so no
problem that it not closes automatically.

Last time I asked that for myself aspell had a better guessing of the
right word.
(Machines differ internly.)
Also only aspell was able to use more than one dict - thus enabling
context-sensitiveness.
With aspell now I feel better.
Maybe just a feeling. :)

I saw that on my system aspell had a lot more dictionaries as ispell,
so I now use also aspell. ;-}
