Why? What happens if the device is portrait before you open a window and you
don't set HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_SUPPORT?
And is there some sort of race condition here?

So HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_REQUEST tells all the widgets in the window to please
rearrange themselves for portrait mode (if they support that)?

So, why are there two flags? I still don't understand what
HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_SUPPORT does.
Sorry to be so dumb -- I keep telling people I am not a GUI guy!
