Graphics hardware in use

nvidia GeForce MX 150

Bug description

Just after logging in, the time/date at the right side of the Panel show the default font (I've changed mine) and UTC time. Within a few minutes, it reverts to the font I selected and local time. My system clock is set to UTC. Happens almost every time.

Steps to reproduce

Boot, login, look at the bottom right corner to see it's incorrect.

Expected behavior

It should be the correct time as soon as it boot. (It's an NVME drive, so speed is not a problem.

Start by reproducing the issue after boot on the stated Mint 22.1 and Cinnamon 6.4.8 setup, then trace the panel clock's initialization and local-time/font updates; done means the panel shows the configured font and correct local time immediately after login.
