probably obvious so you didn't mention it: have you checked various
login scripts/rc files?

what you could also do: ssh into the box as a different user before
you log into gnome, set up a DTrace script to trace all fork/execs for
"your" user, and then log into gnome; wlith some post-processing it
should be possible to find out which process is responsible for
spawning these apps, and take it from there.
