Again just ideas here that are not always that good. But I would feed that
info over dbus plugin and use zeroconf/avahi/bonjour to register and listen
.then on would not be dependent on cords and what not maybe use qnotify or
what ever it is called along side of GPS to see if user wants to change
form factors . I would drop units by PX /GU or whatever and make new
plugins that handle screen size better. Via the video and the info that you
seen. Then take all the qnl that is in the unity next and add property
values based in the c++ plugin aka over dbus  . what I mean by layout is
the stuff that us in the ui kit I hope that my ideas don't offend as they
are just ideas
