Could it be because:
1) the main menu does not allow more than 15 items?
2) empty lines between the main menu and new folders have to be removed in “hildon.menu”?
3)what is the relevance of "bb_apps", does the name of the new *.directory matter?

Each <Menu> may contain any number of <OnlyUnallocated> and <NotOnlyUnallocated> elements. Only the last such element to appear is relevant, as it determines whether the <Menu> can contain any desktop entries, or only those desktop entries that do not match other menus. If neither <OnlyUnallocated> nor <NotOnlyUnallocated> elements are present, the default is <NotOnlyUnallocated>.It looks like the GUI (or whatever...
) is buggy because it looks for me that there is a new code bounded to caching for maemo. I've got my menu stuck right after I did last manipulations with it and did update the icons cache... I did roll-back all changes and then started from the beginning adding those one by one. Now it is working with exactly the same configuration as it stuck with.

Here's a nice tool for managing the menu, although I don't dare try it until I undo the modifications since it seems to work automatcally.
I think this should somehow be reported as a bug.
Also I noticed two more things:
-if the menu is broken, it won't update until you reboot... and it will brake
-if the menu is setup correctly it will automatically update and work correctly with no reboot required.
P.S. I do my dirty work via OpenSSH

Mhh, seems like the new OS update (1.2009.44-1.203.4) modified this mechanism... any change to hildon.menu now is simply not reflected in real-time, regardless of correctness; a reboot is always required.
Bit of a pain, but slightly more bulletproof, I guess (makes it harder to mess up the phone, you always have a chance to rollback changes).

It works, but don't move the shortcuts you want to get rid of from "more..." since if you exclude them in another folder they'll show up in more.
Possible workaround: Lets say we want to have two shortcuts to the Phone
program. We go to /usr/share/applications/hildon and make a copy of the
rtcom-call-ui.desktop and call it rtcom-call-ui-2.desktop. Now we can add two
shortcuts. To avoid having another Phone shortcut in "More..." we can go to
/etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu and add
<Exclude><Filename>rtcom-call-ui-2.desktop</Filename></Exclude> in the
Application menu, which is the "More.." so far haven't experienced any other
side effects, not sure if this causes issues with uninstallable programs.
