Hi,

On recent snapshots (sorry, not sure exactly when it started) the clock 
in various parts of KDE Plasma appears hung and does not update the 
date/time along with the system clock.

Panel widgets such as "Digital Clock" and "Analog Clock" are stuck at 
the date/time that KDE started and do not tick forward. If a change is 
made to Digital Clock settings that would update the time display such 
as "Show seconds", the panel widget does update once with the correct 
time at the exact moment of the change but doesn't update again unless 
another setting change is made.

When locking a KDE session, the clock on the lock screen hangs at the 
moment it was locked and does not move forward. Unlocking and re-locking 
updates the lock screen clock each time to the correct time at the 
moment it was locked.

I enabled logging per the kde-plasma pkg-readme and there are no errors 
output there. Same result when testing digitalclock with 
plasmawindowed/plasmoidviewer.

This is reproducible on a clean 7.9-beta amd64 snap install from April 7 
with the latest packages from April 4 as well as a machine that has been 
upgraded from previous snaps.

Thanks,

-Mark
