>From the debug output it looks like there are already duplicate entries
for some sensors saved in sensors-applet's settings - basically what is
happening is that libsensors is not providing consistent naming of
sensors across reboots - so on first boot sensors-applet gets the list
of sensors from libsensors with names A,B,C say, and then saves this
list of sensors in its settings along with whether they are enabled etc,
graph colour and whotnot. Then on next boot, for the same set of
sensors, libsensors returns names D,E,F and so these look like different
sensors (they have different names) and so sensors-applet may also save
this new list of sensors to its settings - so now in the sensors-applet
settings we have sensors A,B,C,D,E,F even though at any one time there
is really only either A,B,C or D,E,F - so this is really a bug in
libsensors for not providing consistent naming, not sensors-applet since
there is no way to know that D is really A since it actually looks like
a new sensor.
