The commenting out of line 1534 worked well. The problems I found with Lion has more to do with incompatibilities with software that I use. Racket 5.1.1 is one. The GPG plugin I use for Mail is another. I heard that if you have a recent MacBook pro that you can have problems with Video. My MacBook is about 3 years old. I had to unencrypted my home directory in order to use full disk encryption. For about a day your Mac is kind of slow because of the reindexing. Encrypting the 640GB disk takes about a day but that happens in the background but again slowing down your system during that time. I like Lion overall.
