That's exactly what I'm doing - "xrandr -o 1 && app && xrandr -o 0"
But this change screen orientation for the whole X. If you tap on the
top, choose "Home", you'll see it also rotated. What I'm asking for
is an ability to rotate a single aplpication, leaving illume and other
apps in portrait orientation.

Btw, thanks for pointing to ScummVM, I should try this. :)
