Bug Description
The time in the datetime indicator freezes when you change the timezone.
To reproduce:
1) Note the current time in the datetime indicator
2) Change the system timezone, such as by clicking a different timezone in the datetime indicator menu or changing timezone in the date/time system settings app
Expected results:
The clock in the datetime indicator updates to show the current time in the new timezone. The clock continues to function normally, updating the minutes/hours as time progresses
Actual results:
The clock in the datetime indicator freezes. It does not update to the new timezone and no longer updates the minutes/hours - it stays frozen at the time it displayed when you updated the timezone.
The system time is not affected; running 'date' from a terminal displays the correct time. The menu in the datetime indicator will display the correct time. It's just the clock in the panel that is broken.
This is 100% reproducible on my system.
