Are you asking how to trigger the lockscreen UI, or lock the orientation of
your app (like a video player might want to force the view into landscape mode
while playing a video clip?)

We don't do a low level xrandr rotation of the screen, so rotation
totally handed inside the application or the toolkit used by the
application.
So... if you have a traditional Qt application or even a QML app that
isn't using a component library like meego-ux-components that
automatically does scene rotations for you, then your code would have to
explicitly rotate the the view (speaking generically here since this
could apply to any app using who knows what UI technology) which means
the concept of orientation locking would be something your code would
need to implement.
We are in the process of migrating our QML based code to all use
MeeGo.Components instead of MeeGo.Labs.Components since MeeGo.Components
is better positioned to work correctly with qt-components, but as i now
review Window i see that we seem to be missing the concept of an
orientation lock that we currently have in MeeGo.Labs.Components.
Christian or Ben... is there something I am missing or do we still need
to add a mechanism to lock the orientation?
In the labs version of Window I had a orientationLocked boolean
property, so apps would:
scene.orientationLocked = true;
scene.orientation = someorientation;
I'm not sure if the qt-components definition of a window has some other
way of dealing with this. Note that we will not be able to migrate the
video player, app grid, and lockscreen till we have orientation locking
supported.
