They are used to implement the g_file_replace() operation on local file systems. The replace operation will overwrite an existing file, but tries to do so atomically - first write the new file, then move the existing file over the old file. In order to do that, it writes the new file with a .goutputstream-XXXXXX temporary name. This is documented in gio/glocalfileoutputstream.c. If your program is leaving these files behind, it's probably a bug in your program. The highly likely case is you forgot to close the stream. -A.
