detecting tablet mode

[Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen]

i am more than a little interested in having something like this to listen to. 
Windows being the only system with this detection in place (for several years 
now) just seems so silly... Also because it breaks every few weeks on there, 
where i expect we might be able to do /slightly/ better, at least ;) This lack 
has been, effectively, my main reason for not getting anywhere with the Gemini 
framework... not being able to test it on Linux based systems just makes it 
that much less interesting to play with :D
