Description

The sensors plugin is fantastic, thank you.

I have a minor suggestion.

I would like to suggest to have all text as fixed width (easiest would be to prepend quantities with 0's, e.g. sprintf("%04d", rpm); ).

My cpu fan's rpms changes constantly from 900 to 1100 rpm and the sensors plugin keeps changing its size when a 3-digit rpm changes to a 4-digit rpm and vice versa. The result is that all other apps on the panel are constantly shifted because of sensor's changed width.

It's quite distracting to constantly see the panel's apps shifting but it is not the end of the world!
