Thanks for your prompt response.

There seem to be ebuilds available for both versions of the
nvidia-settings in the portage repository:
box0=; ls `pwd`/*|egrep '304.60|319.32'
/usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-304.60.ebuild
/usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-319.32.ebuild

I've also  noticed that in the xfce 'Applicatoins Menu' -> 'Settings', I
have two entries for nvidia-settings.

Is there a reason why the xfce-sensors plug-in pulls in
nvidia-settings-304.60, instead of nvidia-settings-319.32?

Thanks.
