Lost ability to move items between spaces with gestures after 10.7 download. Setting issue or glitch?

I downloaded OSX 10.7.2 like the rest of the world and besides icloud conversion issues I noticed that I could not move items (files, jpg's, etc.,) from one "Space" (desktop) to another. I've gone through all the "gesture" settings in the System prefs and there's nothing to do with it. Using the key fuctions (Control + 1, 2, 3) still allows for moving objects while you have it selected, however if you select any object with the trackpad no gestures work. Anyone else seen this issue? Is there a setting that I've missed?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7), OS X 10.7.2

I noticed the same. The work-around that I am using is to drag the file to the edge of your screen, wait a second, and the "Space" will move across. This is presumably to bring it closer to the iOS method of rearranging apps across screens.

But I'm hoping Apple will re-activate the gestures method, and allow both methods, because I liked being able to scroll through a folder while drag-and-dropping, rather than the hold-it-near-the-edge method, which is often pretty inaccurate and hard to control.
