indicator-applet-complete clock occasionally shows UTC

[Bill Miller]

Sometimes at login, but sometimes at other times, the clock in indicator-applet-complete starts showing UTC instead of local.

It is not a system clock problem, in the terminal and in the standalone clock applet the time is correct. See https://i.stack.imgur.com/x11A4.png

The applet just shows what the actual indicator provides, so reassigning to indicator-datetime.

Ok, but the standalone clock indicator works. The clock in "indicator applet complete" doesn't. See https://i.stack.imgur.com/x11A4.png

Standalone is not indicator, it's mate-panel's built-in clock applet.
