gkrellm accesses /sys directly instead of using libsensors. The
consequence of this unfortunate choice is that the results you get with
gkrellm can differ from what all other hardware monitoring frontends
report, and when support for new chips is added gkrellm doesn't benefit
from the libsensors update and must implement support on its own.
So you better complain to the gkrellm folks, there's nothing we can do
about it.
