GKrellM uses
- /proc/acpi/thermal_zone
- /proc/acpi/thermal
- /proc/sys/dev/sensors
- /sys/bus/i2c/devices
- /sys/class/hwmon

I really don't get it why such an important part of a system can change 
its public API that often (read: Linux is a mess). Furthermore I don't 
have any thermal_zone below /sys/class/thermal. Not a very useful 
interface IMHO if temps are only available through /sys/class/hwmon/ anyway.

Last but not least I'd recommend using libsensors support in GKrellM 
(unfortunately Debian disabled libsensors-usage in its gkrellm-package) 
instead of relying on any of the above directories.
