On further investigation, this is weirder than I thought.  It seems to
make a difference whether I'm physically typing at that computer or
using ssh:

With my .emacs, either sitting at the problematic computer, by ssh
from another Linux box, or by ssh from a Mac terminal:

   * the region face definition (above) looks right
   * transient-mark-mode is on
   * the region is active
   * I *cannot* see the region!

With -q, sitting at the problematic computer:

   * the region face definition (above) looks right
   * transient-mark-mode is on
   * the region is active
   * I *cannot* see the region!

With -q, by ssh:

   * the region face definition (above) looks right
   * transient-mark-mode is on
   * the region is active
   * I *can* see the region.

Is it possible that this is an X configuration issue?
