I have two problems with that:
- I do not think that it is done every minute, or less. And the reset
  is done on the moment of the write-region of my command. So does not
  directly relate to the writing of the desktop file.
- Before 19 December I did not have this behaviour. So it started
  after an update. It did not work like this for more as five years,
  but started the 19th of December 2017.
