Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [comment:9 bemasc]:

 > Activity Rotation preferences:
 > Not all activities make sense to rotate.  Many activities are designed
 around a fixed aspect ratio (e.g. Connect), and the user does not benefit
 from forcing these activities to support rotation.  Each activity should
 be able to list which rotations it supports. Also, there is no need for
 Sugar to support rotation, if future UI designs make rotation difficult.

 Some programs will be able to support all 4 rotations, but will not be
 able to switch without restarting. This will probably be the case for Tux
 Paint in the near future.

 Being upside-down seems unlikely to break anything. The booleans are thus:
 portrait, landscape, switchable.
