Comment 316 for bug 668415

Add me to the many who want this bug fixed.

Putting personal design goals or "vision" over user choice appears childish & counterproductive. Maximizing user choice should always be Job One for ANY computer OS, open-source or otherwise. Concerns over difficulty for left-handed users or wasted screen-space on reorienting tablets alone should make fixing this a no-brainer - this kind of irrational inflexibility is exactly what drives new users away, either back to Mac/Windows or to alternative Linux systems.
