I only have /etc/sensors.conf.  I edited that and the response from the 
sensors command was instant.  I restarted lm_sensors, and gkrellm's display 
went to all zero's for a couple of refresh cycles, then went back to the old, 
low values.

But, a restart on gkrellm seems to have worked.  Which set of stuff in the 
sensors.conf do I edit to set the alarm levels, they are generally pretty 
fubar:

As is the ups stuff, which I finally had to turn off as the answers were 
totally bogus, if it gave any at all.  With a new F8 install all up to date, 
I haven't yet installed apcupsd, which worked only moderately well with my 
Belkin supply, but it would at east make the system do a semi-gracefull 
shutdown.

This time I think I'll try nut & see how well it deals with a Belkin.  At 
least there are rpms for it.

Thanks Bill.
