I'm hoping to find a solution as well. Can't delete icons from Launchpad.

See if you have 2 copies of the apps in your Applications folder, if you've created new folders to keep things organised, the Lion upgrade seems to reinstall stock apps in the default location, meaning you have 2 copies.

I just trashed the duplicates and they disappeared from Launch Pad

It seems if i delete my only copy of an app from my app folder then only one shows up in my launchpad

Figured it out i had two seperate app folders and they both had different versions off all my apps once i deleted the older folder the duplicates in launchpad eventually went away

Follow up question. I can't seem to move the new applications that Lion has installed. For example I can't move "chess" into my games folder because its "Required by Lion" it tells me. I never knew my computer required a game a chess to run.

Ideas?
