 That's not working for me if I do things like `./start-tor-browser.desktop
 --debug --log`. So, it seems for Tor Browser 5.5 you need to use `start-
 tor-browser` directly which seems like a good idea anyway.

 The execdesktop "rewrites" should get tested in the alpha series first, I
 think (in case one of the proposals passes review).
