Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I installed gkrellm and it works. I remember seeing
gkrellm in many Linux screenshots, but didn't know what it was. BTW, is
it really a GUI for lm-sensors? I'm wondering because lm-sensors isn't
mentioned as one of it's dependencies.

One thing that seems a little odd is that gkrellm doesn't tell which
temperature is which, but I have to guess. Xsensors, which I installed
too, tells this information without need to configure anything. This too
made me think if gkrellm really is a GUI for lm-sensors.
