Landscape schematic PDF print needs rotation (Ubuntu)

Whenever I print a schematic to a PDF file I find it requires rotation by 90 degrees to the right, in order to display in landscape mode on Ubuntu.
The way to do this is

pdftk output.odf cat 1-endeast output output_rotated.pdf
where output.pdf is what eeschema produces and output_rotated displays correctly on screen.

would be nice if the printout would come out of eeschema correct in the first place!

Works fine for me on latest KiCad under Ubuntu. What revision of KiCad are you using?
