Comment(by pgf):

 Replying to [comment:21 mstone]:
 > Paul points out that it might be handy if the touchpad axes rotated with
 the screen as well.

 thanks michael.  i suspect this should be a separate trac item, if only
 because it's not nearly as clear when the touchpad should be rotated and
 when not.  unlike the directional keys, which are "locked" physically to
 the screen by virtue of their location, the touchpad and screen can move
 relative to one another.  if you rotate the screen while in laptop
 orientation you would want a different touchpad rotation than when in
 ebook mode.  (and because you have to lift the screen slightly to use the
 touchpad while in ebook mode, it's not clear that the ebook sensor can
 reliably help here.)
