      Case 1:
      1.1. Open 'Date/Time properties' dialog.
      1.2. Update time, then Apply.
      1.2r. Taskbar Clock does not update (yet).

      Case 2:
      2.1. Open a 'Command Prompt'.
      2.2. Execute time 01:02:04.
      2.2r. Taskbar Clock does not update (yet).

      Case 3:
      (3.1. Open 'Date/Time properties' dialog, as a reference.)
      3.2. Let time automatically pass from one minute to the next.
      3.2r. Taskbar Clock does not update (yet).
      PS: Case 3 may only happen while Cases 1-2 are in progress...

      Case 4:
      4.1. Open Taskbar properties
      4.2. Select 'Clock, +/- Seconds', then Apply.
      4.2r. Taskbar Clock (format) does not update (yet).

      Case 5:
      5.0. Have a vertical taskbar (time + date).
      5.1. Cases 1-2-3 are identical with 'date'.

      In all cases, Taskbar Clock will update after a "--/+ 1 mn" (varying) delay.
      It looks like it updates once per minute only, but not (even) always at the same second...
      NB:
      Show 'Seconds' (mind CORE-12988) and that behavior becomes obvious.
      PS:
      Hum, now, I can't reproduce having Seconds displayed and time not updating immediately:
      it looks like Case 4 fixes this issue until next reboot without Seconds...

      Then, a bit of "random", but the basic issue is easy to reproduce.
