Transient mark mode is an abomination.  It really needed to be
replaced by the implementation of temporary transient mark mode (which
also is activated by dragging the mouse) in Emacs 22.

Have you tried CVS Emacs recently?  There definitely is no reason to
use transient-mark mode permanently any more.
