[X4U] Pages problem

Thanks Randy,

I have not upgraded to Lion on my primary computer yet, and would have been thoroughly mystified by this great (?) new feature.

Now, every time I open a "Pages" document, a message pops up and tells me that "The file “xxx.pages” is locked because you haven’t made any changes to it recently."
