A while back there was a discussion on the changes in access privileges to some directories in Lion, I believe mainly to do the system Library directory.
Yesterday, I went through the process of installing an LC app on Lion for the first time, and also experiencing Lion for the first time. I don't need to access the system Library directory but I do need to put a Preferences file in the user's Library/Preferences folder which I assume is still the place for preferences files to go. Pre-Lion, I would just click on the icon for my Home directory, then navigate to Library/Preferences in the Finder. In Lion, I could not find a home directory icon to click on, nor could I find an icon representing the computer's hard drive, either on the desktop or in any Finder windows that I could see. I should say I do not have a real installation process for this app, it's something I put together quickly for a friend, so I was simply copying files from a CD to his computer. We didn't have much time to do the install so I wasn't able to poke around Lion to see if there is a way for a user (a System Admin user of course) to get to the Library/Preferences folder. Hopefully someone can give me some guidance on this. I'm also left to wonder if my application will be able to access the preferences file even if I manage to put it into /Library/Preferences.
