+1 for the idea,
shouldn't dynamic rather be default? any drawback?
is it supposed to be controlled only via the systray icon?

also wondering.. how does this relates with the global tabletmode switch? almost thinking that this global "tabletmode" state should depend firstly on the last tpoye of input events (mouse/keyboard vs touch) rather than that hardware switch, from an usability pow rather than "semantic correctness"

or a different way to see it would make the mode switch from dynamic to always enabled when the tablet mode switch goes in..

The change makes it the default if we have an alphanumeric keyboard. If we don't have an alphanumeric keyboard the default is enabled.

yes. Well there is the DBus interface, but we don't have any users. So my motivation to adjust the dbus protocol is rather low.

Nah, we cannot switch to tablet just because we interact with touch. Notebooks with touch are not tablets.

Certainly, that could be connected.

If there are no objections I'm going to push this

I wish I could test this patch, but I don't own any device with touchscreen.
