How about linking automatic switching of contexts to GeoClue? That way Canola could automatically switch to "home" profile when I come home, and to the "work" profile when I'm at work.
Couldn't it get the contextual clues from the device without needing GeoClue? For instance depending on the WiFi network the N800 is connected to, Canola can determine if the N800 is at home or at work. This is one of the (fanciful) suggestions I listed in bug (RFE) #1046 for Power Management Profiles whereby power and other settings could be selected based on availability of environmental (contextual) resources such as WiFi.
