You can do a few things to get a bit more information about why it 
failed.  I would start by checking for "not found" entries from the 
output of "ldd `which xsensors`".  Then grab a stack trace "strace -o 
xsensors.log xsensors" to see if you can glean where it is having trouble.

I'm still tied to SL5, which doesn't have an xsensors package, I've 
always used the command line tools.
