+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] appDisplay: fix folder loop in `_ensureDefaultFolders`
+
+In testing on Fedora, gnome-shell crashes here:
+
+JS ERROR: TypeError: DEFAULT_FOLDERS[folder] is undefined
+
+This needs to be a "for of" loop, not a "for in" loop, because
+`folders` is an array of the hash's keys, not the hash itself.

+This causes a crash because when we look for 'categories' later
