Bug Description

See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1478637 which is probably the same issue, but for natively landscape orientated devices.

When an app sets a forced-landscape mode, the phone must be rotated clockwise from portrait mode to display it properly. This is a more difficult movement than rotating anti-clockwise for people holding the phone in their left hand (e.g. most right-handed people).

When an app forces landscape mode, the "top" of the landscape screen should be the right of the portait-orientated screen.
