I tried those, doesn't seem to reproduce the file (or any file for
that matter). As far as I recall I tried two things which I don't
usually do,

$ convert image1.png image2.png output.png

and from a remote host,

$ cat image.png | ssh <localhost> display

The 2nd one although brought up an ImageMagick window, didn't display
the image file both times.

I have a hunch if ImageMagick is the author of the tempfile, it is
probably the 2nd thing I tried.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
