Splash Screen Auto Rotates ( although only a landscape screen is specified )

bazookaBen

i was publishing my test game with a test screen

screen orientation: landscape left and right
publishing platform: ipad
overview->plaform->advanced options
selected a landscape image
supported orientations: checked "Landscape left" and "Landscape right"

i get two different results:
a) once it builds and i'm loading the game for the first time, the landscape image suddenly rotates to a portrait one (bad)
b) but if i quit the app, and reload it again, only the landscape image shows ( which is ok ).

however, this is a bad first time experience for the user. How do we avoid situation a) ?

i need to clarify b) - if we press the ipad home button and "minimize" the game, and return later, only the landspace image shows ( good )

problem is running the game for the first time.
