It trusts applications to rotate their own contents, if they want to. The shell doesn't reposition the panel (at the top) though, so a landscape app still has a portrait panel on the side. For proper orientation support in the shell, shell needs to know if the application wants to rotate its contents or not. To animate correctly, we really need shell to be responsible for rotating the app surface, not the app itself. Therefore an application needs to tell shell what orientations it supports, so shell can respect its wishes. A hint in the desktop file may be sufficient. --------------------------------------- Desired UX As described above. Application should be able to tell the system its possible orientations so that the shell can handle the actual rotation accordingly.
