edit and delete links disappear

Issue Summary

I had 6.x-1.6 working well on 2 sites.
I upgraded to 1.7 and the edit and delete links disappeared. I can see "new" content node link OK, but no others. So I reverted back to older version.
The new admin interface is confusing. It says "Exclude the following content local tasks from being added to the content teaser links" where I would expect instead to be able to "include" certain links that I want to show. Do I have to exclude all links and list them all unless I want them? That seems counter-intuitive. I can see how having them manually typed instead of check boxes would allow for more options, but I prefer the old check box system personally, and it worked.
I tried both ways in the new version, both typing in "edit", "delete", "clone", etc to include them and also leaving them out. Neither way worked. I could still only see "new" both ways.
Nice idea though.
