Changing system rotation breaks shell rotation about cutiepi-shell HOT 3 OPEN

@tamara-schmitz thank you so much for reporting this!

In the 2022-01-23 image we did enable Xorg rotation with iio-sensor-proxy, so it does support desktop rotation.

However the Mutter transformation isn't animated, so we did a complicated: sensor rotate -> lock orientation -> (go into Shell) -> use Qt's rotation animation -> (go back to desktop) -> unlock orientation

It works but it's not ideal, and we do need to take for example xrandr or xorg.conf into account.

So if I understand this correctly as of now, when I minimise the Pi-shell there is no desktop rotation. But when I go into cutiepi-shell settings and switch to Desktop Mode there, I get desktop rotation?

@tamara-schmitz

• desktop mode and minimize: orientation unlock, mutter handles the rotation
• cutiepi shell: orientation locked, shell does its own rotation

hope that helps?
