Bug Description

I am using onboard on arch Linux with i3 on a convertible laptop. I have "Auto-show when editing text" enabled as well as "Auto-show only in tablet mode". The acpid service is enabled with systemd and works properly. onboard is started when logging in through "exec --no-startup-id onboard" within the i3 configs. When first started, onboard automatically assumes it is in tablet mode and will auto-show the keyboard when editing text. Once the computer is flipped into tablet mode and flipped back into laptop mode, onboard doesn't automatically show, which is the expected behavior. I assume this is because onboard doesn't receive an initial acpid message telling it it is starting in laptop mode, so it assumes tablet mode initially. Having a setting to specify whether to start in tablet or laptop mode could fix this issue.
