 Replying to [comment:12 wenzeslaus]:

 > So, all files created for wxGUI are standard temporary files without
 special requirements and should be created by standard system/python way,
 is that rigth?

 AFAIK, yes.

 > Files which was not opened (files to be combined to resulting map)
 doesn't have to be closed.
 mkstemp returns an OS-level handle to the opened file. This should be
 closed (with os.close()) if it is not required.

 > Now, mkstemp is used for files which will be combined to resulting and
 then os.remove (grass.try_remove) is called. So, I'm not sure where is the
 problem (why temporary files are not removed).
 On Windows, you can't remove a file if any process has it open.
