Ok, thanks for confirming my suspicions. Quite right given the history that WSX will probably be gone as of Lion. Too bad, I'll miss it. (And since SL, I've really missed Silk, it was the only way I knew to save real estate in my overcrowded MBP menu bar.) So it goes. Given that I'm having a similar problem with OmniFocus, I'll come to terms with a WSX-less life now rather than wait.
