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?
