So, better definition: swipe from the top of the application

(not vertically, i.e. perpendicularly to the sea level)

Another way to say it is lock the swipe orientation also if the app is locked
Yes, this makes a bit more sense (gestures relative to the orientation of the application). It's somewhat consistent. However it still seems a bit weird that gestures would change relative to the user, depending on the applications being locked or rotatable. In Harmattan (hacked one, where rotation of the screen was enabled), it was consistent relative to the user's view (top, bottom, left, right etc.). It seems to be more stable relative perspective, so I'm not really sure what's more confusing this, or the above.

Worked quite well? Android never worked quite well when it comes to efficiency and multitasking. It's IMHO broken by design.
