Dianne might comment more but I would say that yes, it's probably the right direction - if I had more time, I would search on this direction. I also think that it's not super complex because of the architecture, all apps are Window based. Just imagine the screen size modification event as a rotation event. My guess is that it's a 100- line patch not a 5000-line patch... But somebody needs to write it. Bottom-line, if you allow me to give you a piece of advice, understand how rotation works and apply the same idea. And please post your results if any!
