No sensor information if sensor-app started after gkrellm(d)

Description

Sensor apps like mbm/speedfan/coretemp need to be running on gkrellm-startup in order to provider sensor information.

Possible solutions:

Wait until sensor-apps are running


Easy to implement but hard to understand for the user. GKrellM would have to wait indefinetely for one or more apps and would not show its mainwindow until that app is running. Furthermore the user would have to configure which apps to wait for.

Add new sensors at runtime


This would allow starting sensor-apps after gkrellm. Unfortunately this solution is complicated to implement and might cause problems when clients connect to gkrellmd while gkrellmd has not added all sensors yet.
