I don't have the device, quote from IRC:

I can't give an example of a 'landscape app', but whoever has a larger screen can probably find one. Essentially:
a) starting a new landscape app will flip to landscape mode (if shell was i portrait)
but
b) switching to (focusing) an already open landscape app will not (shell stays in portrait)

Generalizing a bit, I also believe orientation requested in the .desktop file should be ignored (at least to some degree?) in windowed mode.
