It's not omnewrotate. If you're lucky, using omnewrotate may help
you recover that screen state.
All omnewrotate does is infer a position from the accelerometers and
using the xrandr API to rotate the screen
http://code.google.com/p/omnewrotate/source/browse/trunk/src/omnewrotate.c#264
So if you want a culprit you can look at libxrandr, although I'm looking
quite more seriously at that damned glamo chip.
As to your last question, just chmod 000 /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*omnewrotate
