I'm using gramps exclusively on Fedora Linux; the Debian Linux version
may be packaged slightly differently, but I haven't checked it closely.

The *.gramps files are temporary snapshot files containing changes
that have been recently made.  For example, I get one every hour while
using gramps; you can control how often (and where) this happens in
your gramps settings.  If you have saved your work already or made
a backup, and quit the gramps application, these can be removed.

Well, I remove them, and have had no trouble over the last year or
two or three :).

Tschus.
