GSettings doesn't track it itself but unity8 writes the correct value on mode change.

It needs to be more intelligent than that (eg, Windowed on a tablet device) and needs to be dynamic, but I don't think there's a way for us to do that yet. Basically, we need to know whether the shell is in windowed or staged mode. The display's form factor isn't particularly relevant. This is needed to complete bug 1545088 and others.
