I couldn't find the attribute, like "Support rotation" in the current 
HildonWindow.
And I think that the use of signal "size-changed" is not the right 
way.(IMHO)
You will need control real value size of window.  You will need  control 
changing to full screen and revert in window and in  next Maemo devices  
size of screen may be large or small.
