I'd recommend the weirdo living behind the bridge as a better bet for blind
faith than *anything* in a monitoring applet.

You can guess a few of the sensors, they seem to be somewhat standard on
*most* thinkpads (see the thinkpad-acpi docs or thinkwiki).  But if you want
to be able to get to this level:

thinkpad-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1:                3067 RPM
CPU:                  +42.0°C                                    
LAN/Heatsink/HDAPS:   +41.0°C                                    
PC-CARD slot:         +32.0°C                                    
GPU:                  +45.0°C                                    
Main battery charger: +31.0°C                                    
Bay battery charger:  +30.0°C                                    
Main battery cells:   +25.0°C                                    
Bay battery cells:    +29.0°C                                    
MCH:                  +40.0°C                                    
PLL clock/ICH/WLAN:   +45.0°C                                    
Voltage regulator:    +40.0°C                                    

Then you need to open up the ThinkPad, find the location of the sensors, and
also look at everything near the sensor.  The above is for a 26xx T43,
*only*.

BTW, on the above, I am draining the bay battery.  The main battery is idle.
