If you have get_tmp_filename() there's a race condition before you
open the file, right?

The idea of passing in an identifying part of the name is a good one
though. How about:

  gint g_file_open_tmp (const gchar *identifier,
                        GError     **error);

So usage is e.g.:

int fd = g_file_open_tmp ("gdk-pixbuf-io-xpm", &error);

and the error can be set to the usual GFileError stuff.

Only problem I see is that there's no way to get the filename, so
maybe the filename should be returned as an optional out param?
