Well, I find rotation one of the most unuseful things ever, but still... my 
point is that there are some applets for what it still makes *some* sense, 
like e.g. the frame, but for others, think the analog clock, it's just good 
to confuse you and get the wrong time when quickly looking at it ;-)
Or in the twitter applet it just paints garbage!

yeah, kill, kill! ;-)

Anyways, I don't have any strong feelings against it, just weak ones, 
therefore... whatever. just wanted to bring this topic up. =)
