  Don't trigger notification updates when setting the same properties (bug 345973)

Frameworkintegration

  Fix native file dialogs from widgets QFileDialog:
 * File dialogs opened with exec() and without parent were opened, but any user-interaction was blocked in a way that no file could be selected nor the dialog closed.
 * File dialogs opened with open() or show() with parent were not opened at all.
