Hi!
  First of all, merry Christmas and happy New Year to all who celebrate it!

having names starting with gradient*. An example follows:

All the files listed above were created in one "batch". And these "batches"
appear every 3 - 5 minutes from the time I logged in until yesterday evening.
None of the files are open.
  Does anybody know, which application is responsible for those files ? 
  In total, there is 1881 of them, which is not critical, but because my /tmp
is a ramdisk, every byte counts :-).
                              With regards, Pavel Troller
