Yes, the /sys name structure is changing and gkellm will support it
in its upcoming release.  You can try a prerelease gkrellm which I
have a report does work for k8temp:

   http://members.dslextreme.com/users/billw/test/gkrellm.tar.bz2

This tarball also marks the beginning of gkrellm using libsensors (if installed)
instead of directly reading /sys.  But if you have an it87 in addition
to a k8temp, then there could be a complication if you have a libsensors
installed which doesn't yet support k8temp while your kernel does.  In this
case gkrellm will detect the it87 via libsensors and decide to use it for
all sensor data and you would need to move your /etc/sensors.conf out
of the way to force gkrellm to read everything from /sys instead of using
libsensors.  Then when you get a libsensors with k6temp, move the
sensors.conf back in and gkrellm will start using libsensors for both sensors.

Run "gkrellm -d 0x80" if you need to see debug output while doing
this.
