Here are some files, binary and source together. It doesn't run at startup, it needs to be run from either qtaemon icon or /opt/usr/bin/qtaemon. It gives some debugging information in both qDebug and DBus messages (dbus-monitor | grep qtaemon).

It's raw. As you could see from screenshots, sometimes screen goes into one of the two difficult-to-use modes, it doesn't freeze, you can launch and close applications, but inputting lock code becomes almost impossible because you see only one or two or three buttons at first; and it's difficult to understand correspondence between touchscreen and image on the screen. So, the qtaemon doesn't reboot the device when you launch particular application, but rather unpredictably tricks you into wishing to reboot the device.

EDIT:
I would really prefer somebody to read into hildon-desktop and write modification of hildon-desktop which natively enables seamless auto-rotation.
