Phone App - set to portrait gPodder - set to landscape Panucci - cant set, filled bug and enhancement request. walking around with my phone causes this app to constantly pause change orientation start again, pause rotate, start = useless however as more apps think this is cool I dont want to fight it, I just want to turn it off period.

But, the rotation support may not have the same settings functionality. In this case, pleasde lodge enhancement requests for the apps at http://bugs.maemo.org.
