I get the same thing with awn 0.2.6, also using --enable-desktop=xfce4. Usually launchers launch the application without problems, but suddenly, for a while, every time a launcher is clicked nothing happens and "Error: Failed to execute child process "ApplicationName" (Bad address)" is printed to the terminal. After clicking a few times, sometimes once, sometimes several times, but I'd say never more than five times, the applications is launched. After that, all applications launch again without problems, until it happens again. It seems totally random, but happens often enough to become pretty annoying :-)
