Comment 13 for bug 171944

Just a few words to clearify the logic behind:
The current implementation exchanges positions of objects according to
the order in which they
where selected:
The 1st selected object moves to postion of 2nd, the 2nd to the position
of the 3rd, ... and the last
to the position of the first.

This brings me to the question whether we should really try to implement a
strict (for example clockwise) rotate order.
The point is, that it's not ever possible to decide the right order.
Imagine cases where all three objects are located at the same Y or X
position)
With more than three objects, we'll face that much situations where its
difficult to decide the right order.

I would propose to stick to the simple rule already implemented.
