Comment(by erikg):

 Additionally, I believe I may have fixed a sugar-crashing bug whereby the
 subprocess.Popen() call running xrandr threw an OSError in response to
 EINTR on an internal call to read().  The bug earlier manifested itself by
 crashing sugar after rapidly pressing the screen rotate button.  Per
 mstone's suggestions I used subprocess.check_call() to order the xrandr
 and xmodmap calls, and catch and ignore EINTR to avoid this problem.  If
 the keys become desyncronized (the call to xrandr fails) the attached code
 will resync them on the next press of the rotation key.
