Lanscape Mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I got an Achos 5 and connectbot works fine so far.
However it normally switches from Landscape to portrait mode
depending in the orientation of the device.

But connectbot always uses the portrait mode.

However Archos 5 has a stand which you can put the device 
60° vertical much like a regular monitor in landscape mode.

This would be nice if I 
* use a regular USB keyboard 
* or for watching log files (tail -f)
* it would also be better to have the full width of the screen.  

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?

1.6 r421 2009-10-27

What type of system are you trying to connect to?

Local or diffrent Unix flavors

Ok I found the setting. But this is not acceptable.  
Default MUST BE automatic as users are used to this behavior of the device.
Be a bit user friendly. Further more this setting is no avaiable
while connected.

The problem with automatic mode by default is it resizes the PTYs which can 
have a
huge cost over slow connections.
