when you use "print to file" and create an output file, the next temporary file
used by preview is exactly that file, which will be erased when the preview window
is closed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use File/Print -> print to file (/path/to/file.ps)
2. use File/Preview
3. close the preview


Actual Results:  
--> the /path/to/file.ps file is deleted


Expected Results:  
not destroy the files created before.

use a different temporary file should fix the problem.

note that Thunderbird has the same problem

This was fixed in bug 226600 after the Aviary branch was created.  Reopen if you
