** Summary changed:

- MainView is missing an API to lock to landscape
+ MainView is missing an API to dynamically set supported orientations

** Description changed:

- 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.
+ The MainView offered an api to lock the app to portrait. When
+ shellRotation landed, that was replaced by entries in the .desktop file
+ (X-Ubuntu-Supported-Orientations).
+ 
+ However, still this isn't really enough for some use cases. For example
+ an app might want to be locked to portrait while showing the main menu,
+ but when displaying certain content enable allowing rotation.
+ 
+ For that, there would be the need of an API, similar to the .desktop
+ entries, but changeable at runtime.
