Do you have any idea what the "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" executable is called? I don't run a Gnome desktop but I do have all of the gnome utilities installed and that sounds like it would be useful.
Its "About" lists it as "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.20.1" on my system, the applet is located here: /usr/libexec/cpufreq-applet
In Gentoo Portage, it is in the gnome-applets package, fedora may package it differently however. It runs within the gnome panel, so if you aren't running one you may find its not for you.
I stumbled across this though which may be useful: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling
