It is a preference pane add-in that allows you to check or uncheck stuff that appears in the Launchpad. Here’s a link to the developer’s site http://chaosspace.de/dev/launchpad-control-hide-apps-from-launchpad/ (The add-in is free.)

To make your library folder permanently visible, go to terminal window and type “chflags nohidden ~/Library” If you should later decide that you want to hide it again, go back to a terminal and type “chflags hidden ~/Library” (You can hide and unhide other items with same command – fun trick to play on your spouse/significant other mwahahah)

What prompted me to get it faster was mistakenly clicking a phishing link from my Twitter wall when I was trying to report the user. I think that was the first time I’d ever clicked something like that. After several redirects and a dialog box, I closed Safari and went straight to the App Store for Lion. Nothing like being ushered to an upgrade!
