It's implemented by applying a 90° rotation on the world transform in the main 
QGraphicsView. So the rotation is entirely done by the application.

Remember that it's not just showing the rotated screen, but also showing the 
rotation animation. There's no way to do that with the rotation being done 
outside of the application.
