Hi,
There is a convenient way to achieve this "write temporary and rename"
behaviour, at least for small configuration files: g_file_set_contents
does this for you! Yeah, I know that it's blocking operation and don't
use GnomeVFS (so, no notifications in maemo env), but I think that's
good for this case Eero mentioned. Anyways, it doesn't cause extra work
for developers.

Some individual files
could get only partially written, but all applications should
be doing such writes safely (write to temp file and rename once
writing is finished).
This is the problem. It is not common at all to write to files in such
way. In case you want to apppend some data to existing file it is not
optimal to create new temporary file, copy all data and add few bytes.
You seriously can't expect people writing code in such way.
For logs etc. you can of course append, I meant files which application
loads when it starts and where it matters what their contents are.
