If other applets except cairo-clock are working then I'm kinda at a loss. Did you update any software when it started happening?
One thing you could try (but if it works, the applets I mentioned should have crashed) is this;
1) open /usr/[local/]lib/python2.6/site-packages/awn/extras/awnlib.py
site-packages may be dist-packages or something on your ubuntu. Use your imagination to find the file.
2) go to line 1579 (near the end of the file) and prepend gobject.threads_init with a #
3) add a new cairo-clock instance via awn-settings
Tell me if cairo-clock keeps crashing.
