Ok, so _SUPPORT does _not_ mean that the desktop is automatically
rotated once the device is rotated? I'm still confused sorry...

Maybe you could just write what the expected outcome is when we have one
window open. An on this window we call
hildon_gtk_window_set_portrait_flags().

1) We call it with HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_SUPPORT
2) We call it with HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_REQUEST
3) We call it with HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_SUPPORT|
HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_REQUEST

Sorry for being so slow, but I really don't get it :(
