Well, that's not quite how it works. Apps say they can support portrait, and then get told about orientation changes.

Closed source apps which work well (e.g. file manager) can't be modified; so an additional mechanism (the "whitelist") will be introduced so that hildon-desktop will "forcerotate" those apps, even though they don't declare it.
