Hi Kyle
Sure am.
Lets call it then the Launch image.
We do need to show something if the application is establishing a remote connection. This screen I'm show as a modal view shows up upside down :(
I've had that orientation issue with other applications when I'm programmatically creating controllers and loading views from nib.
Since controllers are responsible for managing all orientation, either the manually created controllers lack this ability to lookup for the current orientation of the device, or there is a missing link with those orphan controllers and the ones that are receiving the notifications from the framework (the main and its direct framework-created friends).
Any idea why this modal is showing up this way, even though it is shown by the main controller of the application?
thx.
Eric.
