Great, glad to hear it! So much good stuff in Android it is hard to keep up with it. With it being so flexible in most cases, I have to work to remember those simple shortcuts that help out so much also.
I think the trick there is that even if you force your application to landscape, if you are looking at your phone in portrait and pull up your application, it shows it in portrait if even for just a second. When it does that without the configChanges, it makes and shows your app in portrait, then the force landscape kicks in and it kills/restarts your app in landscape. At least that's what I've noticed on my apps and is why I default to using the configChanges tag unless there is a reason not to.
