Is there any way to turn off the accelerometer? It's really starting to bug me to distraction. Maep and the photo browser just keep randomly flipping themselves around for no apparent reason and no amount of twisting or shaking will make the damn thing correct itself.

The problem is that the accelerometer can only figure out its orientation in the vertical plane, from an experiment just now only if it's being held less than about 20 degrees from vertical. But I never ever hold the thing up in front of my face, that would be tiring. I hold it down around waist level or on the table. I might use that little kickstand. At which point it's too flat for the accelerometer to work, and if I happen to accidentally tilt it the accelerometer trips and starts flipping the screen around and moving buttons out from under my fingers to unpredictable places on the screen, always when I least expect it.

I've successfully turned off annoying flipping for the phone application, but I really just want to turn it off globally. Any ideas?
