There are a number of ways these could be starting, some dependent on
your window manager (which may be managing 'sessions" for you.)

Its unlikely to be to do with runlevels as the offending programs are
user programs, not daemons.

try looking at your window manager's session management configuration,
and also at any options within the program itself (IIRC kopete has a
config to start (or not start) on kde starting).
