I think you may get some clues from running strace, something like:
strace -o strace.log -s 2048 -f <program>
strace.log will have a (somewhat overwhelming at first) log of which
files are being opened, closed, and read from or written to. The trick
would be figuring out which <program> to
test with... I guess dispwin -s ? Possibly even the X server but
that's tricker to set up.
Another thing to try is a cron job that checks every minute for the
offending file
and logs when it is found, something like
#!/bin/sh
TARGET=/path/to/file
LOG=/var/tmp/test.log
[ -f $TARGET ] || exit 0
touch -m $LOG
echo found $TARGET at `date` >> $LOG
stat $TARGET >> $LOG
