I think that there's a more generic approach to this, which would also work with the tablet Thinkpads. I would export the current "tablet mode" status through sysfs (which is great if your driver keeps state), and send a uevent when the mode changes (in addition to sending out that input event). You'd probably need to tag your device in the udev database so that it can be found and acted upon by user-space (probably a gnome-settings-daemon plugin in your case).
