In the release version of Mac OS X 10.7, there is a bug that prevents secondary click working with two-finger click on the Macbook Pro 4,1. The only way to right-click is using Control+click. To enable right-click using two-finger click, run the following in Terminal:

defaults -currentHost write -g com.apple.trackpad.enableSecondaryClick -bool YES

After doing this log-out and log-in again.

[crarko adds: I don't have the hardware to try this on, but if people with the mentioned MacBook Pro have (or don't have) this problem please mention it in the comments.]
