An application might want to be locked to portrait while showing the
main menu, but allow rotating while displaying some certain content. For
that, the entries in the .desktop file are too static and there needs to
be an API that can change those attributes at runtime.

Bug description:
  The MainView offers an api to lock the app to portrait. For games
  however, it's common to require landscape mode. This is not supported
  and causes  most of the games to show a notice like "Please rotate the
  device" when in portrait mode which looks not very professional.
