The raw temperature values are supposed to be scaled by 1000 and
uguru not doing this makes it different from all other sensor drivers
I've seen.  You can compensate for now by putting in a 1000 factor
for your temps in the gkrellm config.  Maybe this will change in a
future uguru release so it's something to keep an eye on.
For example, it's typical to get /sys temp files having something like:

temp1_input: 40000
temp2_input: 40500
temp3_input: 41000

This should all be taken care of for us once the lm_sensors
library knows about the device and we won't need to be
concerned about factors.

And your voltage labels (and values derived from factors/offsets)
are off because gkrellm (ie me) doesn't know the details of the
conversion formulas and labels since it's a new driver.  This also
should be taken care of with an updated lm_sensors lib.
In the meantime, you'll have to setup voltage labels and I'll
need to get some default labels setup in gkrellm.  I need to
look some more at the voltage factor/offset stuff before I'll know
what values should be right.

So, yeah, it seems it's all working... aside from some fouled up label
and factor defaults :(
