I've a 12Gb database running without problems in Linux Centos 64bit for

Looking database statistics (in pgAdmin III), I can see that there are
366 temporary files, and they sum up 11,863,839,867 bytes in size.

What are the temp files named and where are they located?

Sorry if this sounds silly, but how can I discover this information?

Assuming pgAdmin is using  pg_stat_database then:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/storage-file-layout.html

"Temporary files (for operations such as sorting more data than can fit in memory) are created within PGDATA/base/pgsql_tmp, or within a pgsql_tmp subdirectory of a tablespace directory if a tablespace other than pg_default is specified for them. The name of a temporary file has the form pgsql_tmpPPP.NNN, where PPP is the PID of the owning backend and NNN distinguishes different temporary files of that backend."
