This would be the sensible way of doing it - the first time you rotate it has all your widgets there in odd places then once you've placed them, it remembers. I also thought this.

I was also thinking that to maintain multi-desktop background integrity, why not just have the home screen scroll vertically? That way when you rotate all you'd need is to:

Move status bar to the top
Put widgets in their (user-defined) portrait mode positions and rotate them 90 degrees about the z axis

Just a thought. Sorry if someone's already said this, the forums are large and this thread is long.
