I agree that's a huge inconvenience, also a waste of effort that every
single application in the need of landscape layout needs to bring own
solution. I can understand that you do not want to make this effort.

Also a regression from Maemo... where the only thing application cared
is getting notified, that its window dimensions is not 480x800 anymore,
but 800x480 and it needs to relayout. Also, the relayouting process was
cleverly hidden by rotating the screenshot of the last state of the
application, so the user does not see the relayouting itself.

I perfectly understand that's... discouraging, to require so much
developer effort for such a niche platform.
