That by the way is an interesting question. Okay, the apps keep running, but do they get *all* which are emitted on dbus or elsewhere? Will they even see that the orientation of the device has changed? Or is the dashboard the only application which listens on dbus for those events at that time and then has to tell all applications that the orientation changed?

I take that as a question to one of the brainstorms
