Yes, someone should file bugs about those standard dialogs.

And most custom application layouts would need a different layout for
portrait mode. The GTK+ box model can't know that you suddenly want the
buttons in a hbox on the bottom instead of in a vbox on the right.

I'm currently reading about Android. They have a whole API for reacting
to the orientation change for this reason.
