Hi.

You can put a quick button on the shell to run the monitor from landscape to portrait?
on a PC with touch screen would be ideal.

What device are we actually talking about here? Does the device have a gyroscope of any kind? If you're talking about a tablet computer, I don't think it should have any kind of menu, it should be automatic (with a way to override it).

If you're asking for a "display rotation" icon in the shell, it would probably get done as an extension (see bug 634332).

The device in question is a netbook asus eeepc t101MT and does not have a gyroscope.

On youtube a minute 9:00 is an example of how it works

Even an extension would be fine. 
You can use it only on the devices that need it.

Turns out there's already one in gnome-shell-extensions, as per bug 631995.
