I am the same person (github/rickysarraf) that mentioned about the status of
GNOME + Screen Rotation.

Under Debian, to have it working, you need iio-sensor-proxy + GNOME 3.18+
I've not tried it with any other DE/WM. But as I said on github, to the best of
my knowledge, it is only GNOME that currently works with *automatic* screen
rotation. I think I tired the same under KDE but that didn't work.

The simplest for you could be to have both XFCE and GNOME installed, to verify.

PS: Once you have verified, can you please update your findings on this bug
report? Then, we can bring this bug to a terminal state accordingly.
