When I set the rotation to 20 degrees in the dialog, the image
immediately rotates what I presume is 20 degrees.  If I then click in
the image, the 20 degree setting is negated with the mouse taking
control, and it behaves just the way it would had I not set the rotation
angle at all in the dialog box.  I presume these are two mutually
exclusive modes of operation.
