I haven't installed 5.1 yet, but I *CAN* help with the scroll-bar position,
though I haven't figured out why anybody would CARE on which side the
scroll-bar appears.

The "official" way to do this in Emacs 20 is to use the "customize"
facility:

    Do M-x customize
    Click on [Go to Group] in "Environment group: "
    Click on [Go to Group] in "Frames group: "
    Click on [Value Menu]  in "Scroll Bar Mode: "
        and select "right" on the resulting menu.
    Then click on [State] *UNDER* "Scroll Bar Mode: " and chose appropriate
        menu entr(y|ies).

Alternatively, you can do it the easy way and just put the following in .emacs:

    (custom-set-variables
     '(scroll-bar-mode (quote right)))
