Yes, it is possible.

This is how you do it:


Step 0. Add an ksysguard applet to your panel.

                  ========================

Step 1. Get an empty display;

Go to the ksysguard applet corner (that little bar on the left of it).
"Right click" -> "Configure SysGuard". Set the "number of displays" to
3.

OR

Right click on one display at the panel applet directly, say CPU,
and "remove display".

Either way you should have an empty display at the applet.

                   =======================


Step 2. Open KSysGuard (the program). Find the temperature sensor at the
        sensor browser (at the left), and drag & drop it into the empty
        display.

You will then be asked how you want it displayed etc (you can change
that later).
