Okay, to find out what files are using these, go into your directory,
and use the fuser command.

So, for me...

cd /tmp/orbit-ockman
fuser *

give me quite a few...here are the first two:
orb-13076214721085093349:  1533
orb-13240275601413802650:  1484

then using ps ax I see that process 1533 is gnome-terminal and 1484 is
panel.  So that explains what processes are creating the files!
