It's likely the hildon-desktop bug (same problem that categorize has). So if so, yes it's a known bug but it has to be fixed by Nokia.

Just to check things....
When I activate my new folders, the seems seems to suck battery everytime it is activated...
last night I went to sleep around 02.00 and I set the cell to offline.
tested with some folders and this morning around 10.00 the batterygraph app stated that there was a small activity as there were cpu drainage every time (only small).
Is this a known bug/action?

EDIT: There're a lot of people in the community who say "open source stuff and we'll fix it". Given hildon-desktop's open source, this bug is quite major and no one in the community has seemed to look at debugging it, it doesn't add much weight to the arguments made :-(

I just had an idea on how to solve this...
I'll give it a try after work, but I don't see any reason why this shouldn't work...
I feel pretty stupid I didn't think of it earlier, especially since the vital hint already was given in one of the bug reports...

Proof of concept - coming soon to N900s in your area...
(No hildon.menu file was harmed while shooting this screenshot. It's all safely and soundly stored in apmefo.menu!)
Though in the beginning I'll only implement reordering folders, as apps would already need the implementation of the get-unallocated-apps algorithm coming in a later version.
And this one just to show that localisation is working now. Probably not the most elegant way I've implemented it, but at least it's working like a charm.
For anybody who'd want to try themselves at a translation, I've attached the template file. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm running out of languages to which I can translate myself...

Just thought I'd let you know I started on the readme. But I'm not that great at writing technical documents..well I can but it gets boring. =P Wrote it while catching up on some anime lol.
Code:
Waning ApMeFo may cause problems such as not being able to see any icons in your application launcher if something goes inredibly wrong. I personally keep a shortcut of ApMeFo on my desktop just in case something goes wrong so I can go back to the application and deactivate it. Onto the documentation. When you first start the program you will be taken to the (De-)Activate tab. This tab, along with the Add Apps tab will soon be familar to you as you use this program. The (De-)Activate appropriately, activates and deactivates the ApMeFo functionality. When in the deactivated state, ApMeFo is off, and your applications will be organized in alphabetical order. More interesting is the activate state, which will organize your icons according to the folders you have set in ApMeFo. How to Create Folders and Icons To create a folder, go to the Create/Edit tab, here you can create new folders and assign them an icon. You can also edit existing folder names. Creating a New Folder Click, the text field in Folder Name and type in your desired Folder name.
