This problem seems to disappear in iOS 6.0.

A workaround could look like this:

- (UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation;
{
    UIViewController *rootViewController = self.view.window.rootViewController;
    if (rootViewController) {
        return rootViewController.interfaceOrientation;
    }
    return [super interfaceOrientation];
}

It completely depends where your viewcontroller sits in the view heirarchy.

UIWindow should only have a single viewcontroller linked to it (usually a rootViewController) and this is the viewcontroller that responds to the rotation. If the rootViewController has multiple children viewcontrollers, you'll need to detect the rotation in the rootViewController and pass it on to the relevant viewcontroller

There's a very good programming guide in the online docs about it. If I find the link I'll post it. Search my previous posts where I was pointed in the same direction.
