In my application, cuteTube, I would like one window (the video playback window) to have landscape orientation only, but this window inherits the Qt.WA_Maemo5AutoOrientation attribute from it's parent window. I have tried to override this with

Code:
self.setAttribute(Qt.WA_Maemo5LandscapeOrientation, True)
but it doesn't have any effect.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to override the Qt.WA_Maemo5AutoOrientation attribute when creating a child window? I would like to avoid having to set the entire application to landscape only.
