That's what the OP does already. It doesn't do what's being asked though. If 
you switch windows without closing your rotated app you will find that 
everything else is rotated too. The OP is asking for rotate happen to that 
app only. I don't know of anything that does that for generic apps, but I 
could imagine it being a window manager plugin.
