if i define and set my default paper to be wider than it is tall,

the width and height as i set them and with the orientation as
portrait. i believe this to be a bug. or do i misunderstand
something? if it is a bug, is it known?
Cure my ignorance, please. I had thought that there was no
intelligible definition of "portrait orientation" _other_ than that
the image is taller than it is wide?

as far as i know, portrait and landscape specify how the image is
actually printed on the page. portrait implies that the top of the
image is printed at the top of the page, whereas landscape (and
reverse landscape) imply that the image is rotated 90 degrees.
consider the situation where a person has some pre-printed paper
(with a letter head or logo at the top of the page) and this paper is
wider that it is tall when viewed normally. the paper would in all
liklihood be fed into a printer top edge (ie, the edge with the logo
at the top) first. thus, in this case, the paper would want to be
specified with a width greater than its height, but its normal
printing would be in portrati mode.
