Hmm indeed, maybe in that case we just need a DBus API on the shell 
(bool property) that the settings app/indicator will toggle, and shell 
will do all it needs (using the already-available gsetting)?

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Trusty r188

  1. Open System Settings.
  2. Try to turn on Orientation Lock.

  What happens: There's no such setting.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemSettings#phone-quick-access>: "The
  quick access area is a group of list items at the top of the overview
  screen. It should always contain 'Orientation Lock'..."
