I believe you misunderstood the problem:

The original problem was that new windows would not respect the current state. 
If you create a new dialog and set it to auto-rotate, the new dialog will show 
up in landscape mode even if the display was in portrait mode. It is a common 
problem that affects pop-up dialogs.

It can be bypassed by setting a parent window and Felipe explained why.
