a friend had the following idea about portrait mode support for hildon home:
For each "landscape-desktop", hildon-home could have a second desktop where you can also place widgets as you need. This second ("portrait-desktop") is hidden in landscape mode and is only shown in portrait mode (-> the "landscape-desktop" gets hidden) and vice versa.
Maybe, the existing widgets can also be reused, we just need a second pair of coordinates where to display it. I'm not really into GTK/Hildon programming but AFAIK, GTK provides some kind of objects (thats why assume this).
This is planned for the CSSU, Jaffa already made some algorithms to place the items in portrait mode the same way they were in landscape mode, they just need to be coded (easier said than done really).
If the user then decided to move the widgets, they're stored in a portrait mode config file.
