? It looks like the basic principles of design changed with KDE4 :-)
a) principle of the least surprise -- do not show user something you are not willing to do
b) WYSIWYG

The applet border is not supposed to be rotated so please do not rotate it. 

> to show the difference between starting degree and current degree

The final effect is what is count and currently KDE shows something that won't happen. So how the user can judge if she/he likes it or not if she/he cannot see it? Do you really think that user estimates degrees and says "oh, this is approximately 40 degrees so I stop here" or maybe user rather thinks "I like it THAT way".

Since the content (applet) only will be rotated please show only applet rotated. This way user will get what she/he sees -- WYSIWYG.
