Fedora noob in here.

I had installed gnome-applet sensors and hddtemp. I have added hardware sensors monitor to the panel. Now under sensors applet preferences tab, i find only libsensors. It should display libsensors and hddtemp. How can i invoke this hddtemp??

Previously i was on Ubuntu, i remember that after installing hddtemp a wizard came forth, and allowed me to configure it (like startup at boot). On fedora nothing of that sorts happened.

I hope my query is clear enough. Please help me.
