you unfortunately cannot trust software to clean after themselves.. this is the sad state of things and one of the main reasons this has to be done, as long as something uses the mk*stmp* tmpn* interfaces this will continue happen. (tmpfile() now uses O_TMPFILE so it is excluded from nasties list)
A problem is when a program which creates temporary files can't know when they have to be deleted later, e.g. a mail program saving an attachment and then starting an application to display it. There's no golden rule when would be the best time to delete the file, but IMO a time-based rule (e.g. a week) is better than a reboot-based cleanup ... especially on Tumbleweed where we boot quite often due to updates.
