Perhaps something like:

[app] (name=gkrellm)
  [Workspace]   {0}
[end]

instead of:

  [Workspace]   {7}

in your ~/.fluxbox/apps file?  Or may be you have a [Jump] {yes} command in 
there too?  Not sure if something similar in ~/.fluxbox/startup could cause 
this symptom, so have a look in there just in case.

Emerge lm_sensors and then run sensors to see what's what.

I am guessing the k10temp is the core temperature of the CPU and the it87 the 
chip temperature sensors (3-off) from ACPI?
