(third time's the charm, last two were eaten)

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 if rotaton-support is installed.

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