Comment 4 for bug 1716690

Ran in the same problem:
- bad file is named 'cinnamon-settings-daemon-xrandr.desktop', deleting this solved the issue.
- System is Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit
- Graphics Intel Sky Lake integrated with two monitors

The bad file has a modification date of 2018-02-01.
On that day I updated quite a lot packages.
Maybe someone can see, if one of these packages is the bad one.
