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.
