You are right, and actually it works as expected, more or less. Try with a
clear two-color gradient (guess the import filter fails when a multi-stop
gradient or transparency is being used). The rotated shape will have an angle.
The less well working part is how it looks. My test (v5.3 on Windows) was from
black to white and there is not much white in rotated shapes.

Anyway, the enhancement request was the "Rotate fill effect with shape" option
(MS Word calls it "Rotate with shape"), which just copies the rotation value
into the angle field. Sounds to me like an EASYHACK. Setting NEEDINFO and
DEVEVAL for the codepointers. (CC Rishabh: Please have a look.)

The request is for all fill styles including bitmap, and not excluding pattern
and hatching. For hatching the same applies as for gradients since we have an
angle there. But pattern and bitmaps wont work out of the box since LibreOffice
has no means to freely rotate images. Would be nice, however.
