Well that was a mistake.

That's why.

Dunno if that applies to the T4x but I'm not risking _my_ TP to find out.  
Besides, ACPI does everything lm_sensors does AFAIK.

You can also do "chkconfig --del lm_sensors", or the brute-force method 
would be going behind rpm's back and removing every file that came from 
that package.  Slightly nicer would be "chmod a-rx 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors".

No idea.  Maybe it's not considered an App so it's not listed?  Never used 
those utilities.
