Dear Maintainer,

The xfce sensors plugin crashes and leaves the panel when hard disk monitoring
is enabled on Jessie. In order to use hard disk monitoring, I obviously had to
setuid hddtemp. I know the setuid hddtemp issue has been corrected in the newer
version, but I have reasons not to update, and I don't know if that would fix
the problem. I can post a log (that doesn't tell much) if you like, and can
give the information about the hard disks I'm using. Without hard disk sensors
displaying, it works fine.

I have removed the hard disk monitors from my panel, and I still got an
error today. My plugin left the panel and asked to be restarted.
Now even when I hold the mouse over my xfce4-sensors-plugin, it crashes. I
have a log from when it started happening, as I was trying different
things, and as I held the mouse over the plugin. I'll post this and the
previous log.
