In the Qt 4.7.2 documentation it mentions various Qt API's to lock screen orientation, will these be implemented MeeGo, i.e., will there be platform specific code for these?

Qt::WA_LockPortraitOrientation: //Locks the widget to a portrait orientation, ignoring changes to the display’s orientation with respect to the user//
Qt::WA_LockLandscapeOrientation: //Locks the widget to a landscape orientation, ignoring changes to the display’s orientation with respect to the user//
Qt::WA_AutoOrientation: //Causes the widget to change orientation whenever the display changes orientation with respect to the user//

Thanks
Costas
