I have not dug too far into those tools, but the machine I have a desktop running on does give me messages about low free disk space, so something in the gui side of things is doing the call that df uses to get data. df will spin things up, and if it samples often enough would prevent it from being idle.
And yes, as you said there don't appear to be man pages for any of them. I have strace'd a few of the processes but so far not found what is doing the checking. I may not be leaving the strace running for long enough to catch it.
