This report applies to a system with two monitors running as seperated screens. (fake xinerama with nvidia twinview). Applets are losing their orientation, when they are beeing moved between different screens. This problem is always reproducable with nearly all applets (frame, calculator, battery, kget), excluding analog and digital clock. Clocks seems to be the only applet type that will keep it's orientation after beeing moved to another screen. Before the applet is droped on the screen, it is rendered with an white border and correct rotation (might be a bug related to NVIDIA driver, however this issue isn't there when moving clocks). I am applying a screenshoot. After droping the applet, it will be rendered with an default orientation.

1. Create any applet (no clock) on screen 1.
2. Use the rotate icon to change it's orientation.
3. Move the applet on screen 2.

Actual result: 
The applet is losing it's orientation and is drawn with it's default orientation.

Expected result: 
The applet is still having the orientation given in step 2.
