The mktemp utility requires that the X's be specified as the last characters of the template.
You could try something like this, which you can then adjust to your need:
Code:
# Create a temporary file according to template /tmp/file.XXXXXXXX
# And store its name in the shell variable "tmpfile"
tmpfile=$(mktemp /tmp/file.XXXXXXXX) || exit 1
echo "Editing file ${tmpfile}"
geany "$tmpfile"
