Description jedcooper 2015-09-24 11:14:29 UTC 
xfce4-sensors-plugin should depend on nvidia-drivers[tools] and not on media-video/nvidia-settings.
nvidia-settings doesn't have the same update frequency as nvidia-drivers and is not needed if nvidia-drivers are build with USE=tools.

Unfortunately without video_cards_nvidia USEFLAG no GPU sensor is available with xfce4-sensors-plugin (nvidia-drivers with tools installed), so I don't know if my description for nvidia-settings dependency issue does fit in its way (ebuild) to solve it to have GPU sensors regardless of dependency, so it might be an upstream issue?!
AFAIK nvidia-settings is used to query the sensor(s) and then have the value available for further processing.
