evince bug

same as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1690341

after successfully saving changes to PDF file (a form I filled out)
and verifying that the changes are there, the timestamp of the file
(ls -l from command line) is unchanged.

screws up rsync'ed backups, etc. plus confusing as hell!

$ evince --version
GNOME Document Viewer 3.28.4

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
