Title:
  Shell rotates inappropriately in windowed mode

Status in The Avila project:
  In Progress
Status in Canonical System Image:

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.

  
  ----------------- Desired UX ----------------------------
  The shell should not rotate automatically when it's in windowed mode. 
  It should just ignore .desktop file orientations since in windowed mode it's possible to show a portrait window in landscape mode and vice versa.
