I remember getting pissed off at Nokia because they wouldn't include the rotation patch into the Diablo kernel and xserver. But it would be a supported mode in Fremantle and that was, er, the end of that bug. Now, the bug above points out something wrong with the way Nokia's doing this implementation and it's a WONTFIX. The WONTFIX issue never bothered me before (say, except for the diablo rotation bug) but if Nokia are already giving out the WONTFIXes - for legit bugs - in their new OS, then they can **** off.
I currently see two areas of big frustration for 3rd party developers: Theming not working for some widgets because of widget functionality that was never tested/covered by official Nokia applications, plus the portrait mode mentioned here.
For both issues several bug reports exist in maemo.org Bugzilla.
Feel free to vote for them.

Of course the best solution would be if Nokia covered every possible setting of any widget, but I guess that's quite unrealistic and costs a lot of time and money.
So at least the documentation should be TOTALLY CLEAR about what is supported and what is not.
And as far as I see this is what Nokia is currently made aware of and also gets discussed internally within Nokia - so it's quite good that people in the maemo.org community made some noise about this, but keep it constructive. :-)
