I'm not sure I'm following you... I just tried with an app I'm working on
(based on python + PySide) and the only thing needed to enable autoratation
is setting the WA_Maemo5AutoOrientation flag for *every* window.
The only issue I'm having is that if you open a new stacked window while in
portrait, it nevertheless starts in landscape, but turning the device around
a bit triggers auto rotation again.
