This alrady is integrated better in KDE just use Desktop Activitys and there you have it. You can even script it as you want.

On my laptop I am using one activity when disconnected from external screen and another activity when connected.

Different activitys can also work on "linux tablets" ofcourse, but because of microsoft patent FUD and soon also loocked bootloaders we probadly will never see any real Linux tablets on the market runing KDE (or ubuntu)

But people should atleast consider to checkout KDE(kubuntu or opensuse edition) if not already done, so they know that Windows8 is not something fresh, Microsoft just copy suff here and there over and over again and then say "Hey we come here with something new for u"
