It looks to me like the decision whether to honour the orientation
restriction in the .desktop file is keyed on if an external screen is in
use, not if the shell is running in windowed mode... clearly for some
deviices operating in windowed mode on the built in screen would be
desirable.

Title:
  Shell rotates inappropriately in windowed mode

Status in canonical-pocket-desktop:
  New
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Install latest rc proposed on a nexus 4. 
  Attach a bluetooth mouse - this triggers windowed mode.
  Orient device in landscape
  Open weather app - which is locked portrait in the .desktop file

  Shell rotates to become portrait and there's no way to get it out of
  that mode easily.

  The shell should probably ignore the .desktop setting which says that
  an app is portrait only if it's windowed.
