Comment 5 for bug 1068442

it has been worked around by some scripts ...
nontheless it should be properly fixed in gnome-settings-daemon instead, closing the nexus7 task but leaving g-s-d open....

ubuntu-defaults-nexus7 (0.41) raring; urgency=low

  * add acceld.conf upstart job, acceld binary to /usr/bin
    and 95-acceld_start XSession.d file this enables auto-rotation of
    the screen. it can be disabled by editing /etc/default/acceld
