I'm tempted to think this is a bug either in the kernel, X or the input
handling - because it seems more to do with what the interpretation of
key input (that happens to be how the accelerator signals?) than actual
actions.  What happens if you try booting with 14.10 kernel but leave
everything else the same?

  Hybrid laptop's accelerometer tilt interpreted as WiFi hardware switch

Bug description:
  This bug appears to be a regression in Vivid sometime in the second
  half of March 2015.

  When the machine is tilted (e.g., onto its side), Syslog reports an
  "unknown" button being pressed. When tilted back to the normal laptop
  position, the machine's WiFi disconnects and is shown as disabled in
  the connection manager. Syslog indicates that urfkill registered a
  hardware switch cutoff for the WiFi.

  I know that the accelerometers do work in other contexts and can be
  read properly in Ubuntu. As an example, this "orient" script works for
  me: https://github.com/leszakk/orient .

  Hardware: HP Envy x360 15t -- this is a hybrid touch notebook
  OS: Ubuntu 15.04 Beta 2 -- Desktop version
  Kernel:  3.19.0-10-generic
  urfkill:
    Installed: 0.6.0~20150318.103828.5539c0d.1-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 0.6.0~20150318.103828.5539c0d.1-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 0.6.0~20150318.103828.5539c0d.1-0ubuntu1 0

          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Below is a Syslog readout from a test event. The notebook starts in
  normal typing position, the hinge bent at a right angle. At 16:13:30,
  without moving the hinge, I tip the notebook 90 degrees to the left
  from my perspective. So the Unity launcher is now closest to the
  floor, for example. I hold it there for about 10 seconds until
  16:13:40.
