The clock applet in MATE changes its width depending on the width of the
characters displayed.  This is most noticable when seconds are
displayed. If seconds are displayed and the clock is far from any other
applet, the AM/PM indicator (if in 12-hour format) will shift left and
right every second.

If the clock is pushed into a corner of the top or bottom panel, the
whole applet will then wiggle back and forth, regardless of the time
format.  If other applets are pressed up against the clock, then the
whole row of applets will move as well.

Ensuring a gap between the clock, the edge of the panel, and other
applets won't reliably cut the problem down to just the dancing AM/PM.
When other things change, the applet will often get wider and then cause
the entire row of applets to dance around again.  This can be a problem
when lots of things are crammed into a panel.

The clock applet needs to determine the maximum possible width of its
contents according to its current settings and 1) make its width fixed
and 2) put some flexible space within the applet's contents.

This bug causes actual headaches.

This certainly is an issue in mate-applets, so reassigning. This issue needs to be reported upstream (if not already a know issue there).
