Bug Description

STEPS:
1. Have a SIM-locked device
2. Install the latest rc-proposed image (403 on arale)
3. Once in the system rotate the device

EXPECTED:
Shell rotates and refreshes

ACTUAL:
Nothing happens

http://paste.ubuntu.com/23064285/

Above is the paste from 401 the image before the latest untiy8 landed you will note that the shell activates a rotate and the resolution changes, below it is the resolute of OTAing to 403 you'll note the sensor is still triggered but the shell no longer rotates.

I confirm what Dave found. My arale running latest rc-proposed rotation stopped working after a reboot, then suddenly a moment later without any apparent reason it was back and working as expected. It is very reproducible and systematically doesn't work after a reboot. Although starting telegram seems to clear it up.

Just curious, is the difference between a working rotation (Albert) and non-working (jibel & dave) a SIM PIN locked phone?

I suspect yes, so here's a tentative patch:

Potentially yes I have a locked sim as far as I am aware jibel does too and possibly Victor

SIM lock (i was testing without SIM at all) is indeed needed to reproduce the bug, Lukáš patch indeeds fixes it, but in my opinion is just a workaround to topmostIsFullscreen being broken (which may impact somwhere else) so we need to fix it properly so that that value is correct.
