Is it possible, that you still have the mechanism activated to start the 
programs at startup of KDE (probably by links in your Autostart 
directory)?  Then they are started from that mechanism first (without 
waiting for the network) and later when the network is available they are 
started again from the script. I am not sure why they are started in a 
window, but I suppose it is a feature of those programs if they are 
started a second time. At least I know from kmix that it will do this.
