Please note that this _could_ be triggered by the fact, that there
already exists some object called ``newfolder`` in your `myapp`.
Containers (grok.Applications are also containers) raise a KeyError if
you try to add obejcts under the same name more than once. In that case
you have to delete the old object first:

  >>> del myapp['newfolder']
  >>> myapp['newfolder'] = ...

This event was already available with Grok 1.1. Only grokui.admin did
not trigger it when creating applications, which was fixed with
grokui.admin 0.7.0 thanks to Souheil.

If you're using a fairly recent Grok version that shouldn't be a
problem. I _think_ at least Grok >= 1.1 should be sufficient. I might be
wrong here, though.
