So far this is my only big pet peeve in lion (i'm sure i'll find more).  I can't find a way to use two (or three) fingers to go back or forth in finder, without loosing my three finger drag.  I use a magic trackpad, which I find makes it hard to click and drag.  Tap and drag works great, though.  In SL I turned on drag lock which lets you kind of tap-tap-drag.  In lion, drag lock seems to be missing, replaced by three finger drag, which works great, but forces me to give up three finger back/forth in finder.  Two finger back/forth works in safari, but two fingers scrolls in finder.  It just seems like I can't enable everything I need at once.  I guess apple doesn't want me to have my cake and eat it to.  Anyone find a way around this?


Nevermind.  I found my answer shortly after posting, but figured I'd post the solution for anyone else with the same problem.  Drag lock is now buried in universal access > mouse & trackpad > trackpad options.  Turn it on, then you can go back to the trackpad preferences and set "swipe between pages with [two or] three fingers.  Now you can swipe in safari and finder, and drag with one finger.   Mmmmm.... cake.
