OK I have just installed Orrery and now when I exit I have Portrait mode!

I can switch back by locking the phone and unlocking or using the phone app.

Weird.

Braek was already known for allowing the same to happen.

yes - Orrery does the same. Even when you switch it off it reverts back to Portrait mode - its not usable tho as half the portrait screen is missing.

Hasnt Orrery been tested and made live?

I wrote the orrery program, and I have never seen the behavior being described in this thread. Please submit a bug report with Bugzilla, if you find the program is misbehaving.

Orrery will soon have a landscape mode too.

Thanks for trying out my program!

I've unintentionally gotten the UI into portrait mode this way:

make a call in Portrait mode, when the call ends don't close the phone app, just click the minimize icon in the top left-voila!, portrait mode on the desktop.

Problem is, the UI is stuck this way, and it's not pretty. To exit, press the power key, select "lock screen and keys", then press the power key again, and swipe to unlock while holding the N900 horizontally.
