Bug#755366: Power configuration should not write new settings values unless changed

[Josh Triplett]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.12.1-4
Severity: normal

Opening and immediately closing the power settings dialog writes new
values to the following settings, even if unchanged:

/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-inactive-ac-timeout
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-inactive-battery-timeout

Ideally, the power settings dialog should only write to these settings
if the user actually changes them.  This makes a difference when
configuring system-wide defaults, since a user-set value will override a
system value.
