As an application developer I want *Qt* to define a standard and be
able to program to that. Currently, that standard is poorly defined
with Symbian & MeeGo having sensors oriented to a vertically standing
portrait orientation; with Maemo/N900 being the exception. However,
even on this platform you can get consistent behaviour using
qputenv("N900_PORTRAIT_SENSORS", "1");

I can see an argument that they should rotate along with the
application (if rotated by the framework); however it mustn't vary
from device to device or platform to platform, IMHO.
Cheers,
Andrew
