I'm running iio-sensor-proxy from https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy which generates proper d-bus messages.

With gnome this is picked up by gnome-settings-daemon if I'm correct. How do I inform lightdm to use this information to auto-rotate the screen? Although it's definitely possible to run my own script to pull all the time for changes, I prefer to have it in an event loop that checks d-bus anyway, so I'm not suddenly creating some kind of battery drain.
