Nexus 7 home screen

I got a new android nexus 7 tablet recently, and I found that it can't do landscape on the home screen, but it will do landscape anywhere else. I wanted to do landscape, so I got an application that lets me lock my screen in whatever orientation I want. I turned it to landscape, and I found out that Google put a landscape view script on the tablet, but they didn't hard-wire it into the system to rotate. Does anybody know why Google would do that.

Change the settings.

It's not in the settings. I looked throughout them a couple of times and I can't find them.

If you just need the background to be landscape, go into paint, rotate the image 90' counterclockwise.
Problem solved.

as far as why they would do this, it's the same reason I would: to mess with you, specifically.

You are evil. But yes, your solution worked.

4.2.1 does rotate the home screen.
