This is a little out of my league, but I think you'll need to take a look at
olpc-kbdshim [1] so see how things are currently triggered, in particular the
olpc-rotate script. If you want to pickup aspect ration changes on the Sugar
side, perhaps hook a gtk.gdk.screen_get_default().connect('size-changed', <do
something interesting>) callback intp the sugar toolkit. I've implemented
something simple like this in the Moon activity, so that it uses different
layouts for landscape and portrait screen orientations [3].
