Public bug reported:
The orientation of a photo displayed in full-screen mode should have
nothing to do with the accelerometer. Photos should always be displayed
with their short axis at the short axis of the phone's screen, thus
maximising the viewable area. When switching between landscape and
portrait photos it is easier and more natural to rotate the phone 90
degrees as if it was a paper photo rather than trying to shake the phone
until its accelerometer takes the hint, and then balancing the phone so
that the accelerometer never changes its mind.
