... Don't wanna look paranoic but... This is Really strange... Why didn't you ever mentioned it on previous posts or in CSSU?

hello!
how to actually lock it in portrait? Is there any gconftool command?

Re: [Announce]Hildon desktop package which supports lock in portrait mode
 

Frist of all, make sure you have installed the status memu applet : Orientation lock.

Then take the phone into portrait mode, and click the "Orientation lock" applet button. The phone will be locked in the portrait mode.

That's all.

Yes, it is strange, I think.
I just found that some guys wanna the locking portrait mode feature in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74980
And I want it too. But the community does not want to support it for a long time.

So I made a modification by myself and release it for someone who need it just like myself.

I really don't get it why you are forking h-d. And asking for a mail in order to publish source code is impolite if not suspicious. Just attach .dsc and .tar.gz files in your opening post, as simple as that. Or even better make a clone of h-d on gitorious and request a merge of your patches so they can be reviewed and eventually merged upstream.

If I install this, will I lose compatability with the real CSSU, does the updates work after this install? Would like to use, but after the last testing I had to reflash, so I am kinda sceptical at the moment.
