That would be nice to have,  the default temp sensor in xfce is just shows you 
the temp on the taskbar in green numbers. I don't think it even changes to 
yellow or red depending on temp like an lxde one does for me on another 
machine, so its pretty lame.  But I just look and see if they thing goes to 50c 
I think something is wrong.   It idles at 25c.  I have a desktop pc laptops run 
much hotter.

If you looking for something to give a popup or play a sound I'm not sure if 
lm-sensors can handle that you might need some 3rd party program.  But I'm 
always afraid to install anything to dom0.
