As I image it; there are two files that contain the arranging of the desktop, one for portrait and one for landscape. When the device is in landscape it will use the landscape file and when in portrait it will use the portrait file. Just sharing some thoughts

However, editing transitions.ini isn't a nice way of enabling that for such a beneficial feature. So people install the CSSU & a GUI settings editor - which is too complex (or, ultimately, we change the default. Muwahahaha)

Similarly with rotation lock: the CSSU can provide the capability (through a gconf key) to expose an orientation lock. But then it's not actually useful until someone installs the status area menu (note, this is proper orientation lock, not a forcerotation shortcut only for devs). So, now we're up to 3 packages for the "ideal Maemo" experience.

As you say, though, people might not be interested in rotation lock. For though, existing control panel settings applets are replaced or enriched; so you could have Display > Alternate orientation effect and Display > Show orientation lock.

This way, the hardcore fanatics who'd rather change stuff manually are happy, and the end users' happiness is just a single install away.

(I'd also love to see a second, smaller link somewhere on the main page to a CSSU .install file that will enable the CSSU and install it without the higher-up metapackage and the GUI stuff. For the less actually-read-the-manual user types, it can be stuck somewhere in fine print, with a nice warning saying that "This is a version of the CSSU stripped down of the extra GUI apps to configure the settings. If you don't know how to configure it manually, you should use the Install button above")

Have you tried swapping the x, y values, such as (x1, y1) becomes (y1, x1) after rotation. I have never modified the hildon-home code, will try to implement some ideas.

I think all the "extras" should be enabled by default... instead of enabling them after installation.
