I haven't ever tried to do that, but reading the docs, it says that 
setting allowed orientations only takes effect the next time an 
orientation changes. If I'm reading it right, and the user is already in 
portrait mode, then the orientation restriction wouldn't happen until 
after they try to rotate the device at least once.

Maybe just structuring your resizestack handler on that card would be 
enough. Assuming you have a resizestack handler, always set up the 
layout to landscape if you're on that card.
