Creating a wrapper around QTemporaryFile sounds like a fine solution.  I 
resolved the major technical problems (that I was aware of) in QTemporary for 
4.2 so setting the default path and properties is perfectly fine for a 
wrapper class to make it intigrate with KDE.  Feel free to post the wrapper 
class here for review.

P.S. Perhaps temp location would be a good freedesktop addition?
