There should be an orientation lock applet in the status menu if you have CSSU installed.

I already have CSSU installed and most apps do react to the change of orientation of the device, but the desktop still does not, nor do some remaining native applications.
Instructions on installing the arceans modified hildon desktop contain a broken link and no newer version was found, so that was a path I never took. Has anyone? Is it safe? Bug-free?
I would like to request that anyone having struck success with getting this device to switch to portrait mode automatically when turned upright, please post a step-by-step instruction for this procedure with URLs where necessary.
Thank you so much for your help to the beginner users.
Alex.

as @Zas said you should have that applet, if you dont you can install it by this commands :
after the installation is successful you can notice a new applet in your status area 
/sifo
Code:
sudo gainroot apt-get install status-area-orientationlock-applet
/sifo

CSSU testing has desktop rotation enabled, the stable one does not
You might need to enable rotation in the CSSU configuration first because it might not be enabled by default

You just have to follow the info on
http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/FeaturesStable
In your case I guess you want this
http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/FeaturesStable
In your case I guess you want this
Enable rotation of Task Switcher, Launcher and desktop (remember to rearrange your widgets and shortcuts in portrait, hildon-desktop saves that layout seperately)
$ gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/ui_can_rotate -t bool true

Just type the command in Knuckles' post in the terminal and done (you might need to reboot)
