Bug Description
I'm quite lost as to with package I should report this issue. I report it against gnome-control-
On a Lenovo thinkpad X230 tablet, one of the bezel buttons is bound to rotating the screen in steps of 90°. This is an improvement in raring compared to quantal, because in quantal, this button did not work at all.
However, when I rotate the screen using this bezel button, shut down and reboot, the display starts up rotated 90° to the right, compared with what it was on shutdown. This is not a serious problem, but very inconvenient. It startles you quite a bit booting your computer and seeing the login screen rotated to the right. (Even the more as the touch display orientation is not changed in the same way, but that's another bug.)
This problem does not appear, when the screen orientation is changed via the "Display" dialog from the control center. Just when using the bezel button.

In addition, after that has happened, the desktop switcher and the desktop wall are confused about the screen width and height:
See the attached screenshot for the desktop switcher.
(Taking a screen shot while swicthing within the desktp wall does not work. Description: The wall shows the screen previews with correct orientation, but reversed aspect ratio, i.e., height and width of the previews is swapped.)
