    Detailed Description

    An application can be in the portrait or the landscape orientation. A user can physically rotate the device between these orientations, so you may want to layout the application's content differently depending on the screen's orientation. When the user rotates the screen, Window sends various signals at different phases of the rotation. Window handles also the resizing of the screen and possible transitions when the orientation changes. Normally all applications utilizing QtQuick Components for Symbian use Window as the root item.
