A number of those applications running in the background are started by hildon-desktop if their .desktop file has "X-Maemo-Prestarted=always".

Have a look in /usr/share/applications/hildon and do "grep Prestarted= *.desktop" to have a look.

With "=always" I have { calendar, osso-addressbook, rtcom-call-ui, rtcom-messaging-ui }
With "=never" I have { browser, image-viewer, modest, nokia-maps, worldclock }
