What does "a root item" mean here exactly? OrientationHelper can
definitely be the root item of the QML file. It can also contain child
items. Other than that I don't know what you might be trying to describe
here.

Title:
  OrientationHelper cannot be a root item

Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  OrientationHelper cannot be a root item. That's a very unintuitive and
  non-standard limitation which breaks the user's expectations. I don't
  think I've ever seem a QML item with such a restriction. Likewise for
  the hardcoded "anchors.fill: parent"

  If you need a parent/child pair of items to get your work done you
  should hide it inside your OrientationHelper. Ie., make
  OrientationHelper be the "parent" and reassign its children to his
  child that actually gets rotated (tweaking OrientationHelper default
  property to be an alias of rotatedChild.children).
