 Apologies.  I think I misunderstood.  A minor point.  This ticket is about
 the arrow keys on the rotate button, which are fixed in the same
 orientation as the screen no matter which orientation the screen is in.
 The problem is the arrows point the wrong direction.  I don't think the
 ticket is about the physical rotation of the screen wrt GUI rotation.
