    utils: Avoid spurious key file updates
    
    The gdbus-codegen-ed code doesn't use G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY. This
    causes spurious notifications which can lead to the key file being
    needlessly updated. Since The D-Bus objects are backed by the key
    file, and are updated every time the key file changes, this can cause
    an indefinite loop. Let's guard against that.
