Use qwerty12's rotation support on itT for Diablo.

and, no, a simple statusbar applet does not provides rotation support. You need a patched xserver and kernel, among others things, we simply detect for that and show the options of rotaton-support is installed.

Look for a more direct link from the website once qwerty12/jott gets rotation support into Extras/Extras-devel.
