xfce4-sensors-plugin is not what's doing it. It only requires
nvidia-settings and doesn't care what version. So that's not it.

There's really only one explanation - something else is pulling in
nvidia-settings and xfce4-sensors-plugin is leaving it as-is.

Please post the results of

equery depends nvidia-settings
grep -r nvidia-settings /etc/portage
