Thanks Stefan!

P.S. When I rebooted my computer the new update took effect. I am now able to monitor my Nvidia GPU Temp. Readings. And you are right, the package description is confusing! So for the sake of anyone looking for help on this issue:

   The new "sensors-applet" is compiled with Nvidia Support (--with-nvidia=yes).
   But to use this feature, the "nvidia-settings" package must be installed to supply the necessary lib (libNVCtrl.a).

So in a nutshell, when a Ubuntu user wants to monitor his Nvidia GPU Temperature, all one has to do is install the "sensors-applet" and "nvidia-settings" package. Hopefully, if am correct, this will clear up some of the confusion with getting the Nvidia temperature applet working. Thanks again!
