    [Esource] Do not set properties on load which did not change
    
    When calling g_object_set(), g_object_set_property() and similar
    set functions, the GObject itself notifies about the property change,
    even if the value didn't change at all. This was exhibited by false
    notifications when (re)loading ESource on a change on all its saved
    properties, which, in particular, was causing bug #722399.
