I'm starting to think it doesn't make sense to enter windowed mode on
such a small display, even though you have a bluetooth mouse & keyboard
paired.

It does make sense of course to show a mouse pointer and not display a
virtual keyboard in response to the availability of those input devices
, but going to windowed mode, I don't think so.

+ 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.
