Desktop flashes every time contents of ~/Desktop changes, even if the changes don't affect the display of the Desktop
All of the icons on my desktop visibly flash every time I change anything in the folder ~/Desktop, even if the change is not something that is visible on my desktop.
For example, "touch ~/Desktop/.#foo".
I mean, the icons that haven't changed should never flash at all, even if a change is made that does affect the visible display -- only the things that are actually new or different should change their appearance, and everything else should remain the same and not flash. But at the very least, there should be no flash when there are no visible changes.
