Uh, no, but I have now (thanks, Stan).  There I see a list of sensors
and zones that aren't documented anywhere I can find.  I can select
one from each list, but the hwmon list is almost meaningless.

I have looked at man sensors and sensors.conf but see nothing about
zones (except obsolete labels).  I have looked at the source code
briefly, and I guess I could figure out some way to map the "hwmon*"
labels to "CPU*".

Anyway, I now have two applets, one showing hard drive temps and
another showing other temps that I *think* are my four CPU temps plus
three other temps that follow the CPUs in the "sensors" output.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks.
