I do have a T41 2378 deu and the fan likes to stay on quite a bit. It
used to stay on all the time, but now with Xorg and DynamicClocks
enables and powernowd I can get few minutes of quietness once in a while.

The machine is running resonably cool (right now I have 36 42 27 46 28
-128 24 -128) but the fan is still running. I do believe is the way IBM
made their BIOS controlling the fan. I think we need a BIOS upgrade to
see changes.
