Monitoring temperature and fanspeed graphically in Ubuntu

[Ari Torhamo]

Hi,

I just spent a while looking for a GUI-program for monitoring
temperature and fan speed in my system. I found a package named
lm-sensors which does the thing, but has no GUI. I found a Gnome
frontend for lm-sensors called GNOME Sensors Applet, but it doesn't seem
to be in any of the Ubuntu repositories. 

Is anyone possibly planning to bring GNOME Sensors Applet to Ubuntu? I
think it would be good to have a way for not-so-skilled users to monitor
system health and perhaps get an early warning when their system is
running too hot. Or have I missed a way to do this graphically in
Ubuntu?

Here's a link to the applets home page:
