You are right, after restarting the dock or after log off log on, the time is correct. But during runtime, it can go wrong and stay wrong (up to 1 minute).
Could it be that in the commit (f701fb4fa9d83cbd80e2c2df58f0903bf2ffcfe3), the timer is always set to 60 sec from current time, so that there is a cumulative error after long enough time? I am unable to determine what particular event causes this error. ** Description changed: - If the clock applet does not display seconds, then it updates its time - every minute. This will result in displayed times that are wrong up to - one minute. In the worst case, the initialization happened on the 59-th - second, so it almost always shows the wrong minute. + If the clock applet does not display seconds, then during runtime, it + can go wrong up to one minute. It will update its display time every 1 + minute. At startup it will update its time at between the 00 and 01 + seconds every minute.

How to fix: Change that the updating interval is the same as if it was displaying seconds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Devs, which is subscribed to Cairo-Dock Plug-ins. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1919456 Title: clock applet time wrong by up to 1 minute Status in Cairo-Dock Plug-ins: New Bug description: If the clock applet does not display seconds, then during runtime, it can go wrong up to one minute.
