Ok, just made an update.
update to 0.0.12 it now responds to long-home-press too.

for update install-xrandr-kernel is not necessary, only for first time installers.

Awesome! Just finished installing The whole process went very smoothly, and now I'm lovin the rotation thanks emjays and fanoush!

I would love to see some pics of the rotated view. Could someone provide them please.

Yes, it's possible; have a short power press trigger a timer; and if another power press occurs within that timer, run a script that checks current rotation and toggles to the other. (I've got a crude script for rotating + and - 90 degrees, etc., over in the initial thread on OS2008 xrandr; that should be a useful example.)

is there anyway to keep the last statusbar icon on the left from laying over the word "home" ? is there anyway to just remove the word from the theme?

The pictures won't look any different, really; it doesn't matter how you rotate the screen.
(And there's plenty around already...)
But I'll post one anyway. Meet me in the screenshot thread in 5 minutes.

Just installed this, and it rocks!! Now I have to figure out how to get my desktop layout to change positioning when rotated... My RSS feed disappears off the right side of my screen when rotated...

thanks for the work!!

Just put the most needed applets to the left when in landspace mode
the ones on right will be off screen when rotated to portrait mode.

Thanks for this. Works great on my N800. Just one thing. Is there a way to reverse the settings so that a single-click activates the power menu & a double-click rotates?

That will require some extra code, I will study some more and see if it can be implemented.
For now use the home key (long press) to avoid conflict with powerlaunch.
