I can't really help because I have never used this feature, but the
release notes don't rally say that it reacts to rotation automatically,
just that it is possible to do without restarting X. MAybe it should,
but I don't know.

It sure would be nice for the graphical config tool to provide an
option, but maybe you can get by with the command line tool, xrandr. See
the manpage.
