  No, that is not ment to happen.
  The icons should only wiggle when you are editing the apps/folders.
  How are you turning you iPod off?
  
  You should be pressing and holding the wake/sleep button on top of the iPod until are red slider apears (where the unlock slider is) you then slide the red slider and the iPod turns off.

  Thanks.
  
  Yeah that's what I do (in bold), and when I turn it back on the icons are all in different positions.

  It's enough to put it into a sleep mode, you do not have to turn it off completely. And it should keep the changed layout, too.

  Quite, and fully turning it off, then back on again consumes far more battery than just leaving it in standby would.

  That depends on how long it is turned fully off for.
  
  One thing for sure is that turning it on after it has been turned fully off requires it to run at maximum power for half a minute or so as it boots up the OS, and as a result, the indicated battery level after doing so will likely be somewhat lower than it was before it was turned off (but it may well climb after it is turned on if you don't run anything intensive on it).
  
  Putting it into the normal standby mode allows near instant startup with no additional battery drain, but it will be using a small amount of power to maintain that mode.
  
  Unless you are not going to use the device for over a full day, then I reckon the best policy is just to put it into standby.
