hi all!

special thanks to jules et al for being so quick to make the lion installer available ! <3

just wanted to report back two glitches i experienced in case others experience it too, so you will not have to waste time finding solutions.

1. symptom: not being able to drag and drop anything, particularly in the Finder

Culprit : DisplayPad - i can officially say with next to absolute certainty that display pad was severely wreaking severe havoc with Lion.
Solution: Uninstall display pad - which you have to do manually :( - nuke kexts in /System/Library and the application

2. symptom: keyboard locking up after using hotkeys to switch spaces, forcing a reboot

Culprit: Possibly SIMBL, possibly old dock plist settings.
Solution: I nuked simbl/megazoomer, and deleted dock plist settings to restore to originals

In summary , I recommend nuking SIMBL and DisplayPad prior to upgrading to Lion

Everything else seems to be okay for now!  Will keep you posted.

Cheers
Max
