[Solved] Remove screen rotation button(?) from Gnome-Shell

Hello everyone,

there is this button in gnome-shell that I think is for screen rotation, here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/nB8jxGW.png
It appears on my laptop in both 3.14 and 3.16 and it does nothing (actually, it changes the icon from "rotating" to "lock landscape").
Any ideas on how to remove it?

Thanks for the help.

You could try

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.orientation active false

.  That should remove it from next login.

Thanks a lot, this worked! I had to reboot for the setting to take effect.
