Title:
  alarms sceduled within the current minute trigger immediately

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Use case: a countdown timer.

  As an app might be suspended by the time the countdown hits 0,
  currently the alarm api is the only way to create such apps. However,
  for that use case there would be a requirement for second-precision at
  least.

  Currently, when a countdown is set to some few seconds, staying within
  the current minute, the alarm will trigger immediately when it is
  synced to the datetime-indicator, instead of waiting for the time to
  trigger.

  If the alarm is longer, passing the next minute, it seems to actually
  trigger it on the right time.

  Here's an countdown app for testing that sets a countdown to 20 secs
  from now: lp:~mzanetti/+junk/stopwatch-countdown
