There's the existing “straighten” tool, which allows for a small degree
of rotation to make the horizon horizontal, and there are 90° rotation
buttons - like in EOG - on the toolbar.  You may not have the toolbar
enabled, however, which means you'll also be missing the “undo” button.

It might be a good idea to ignore the user's preferences and
unconditionally enable the toolbar on startup in View mode.
