If you save/have saved the session with those processes running, they 
will start each time you log in.  You need to kill them and save the 
session without them.

If that isn't enough, can you change the evolution settings so that the 
daemons and devils don't start?

At some time, I decided it was a bad idea to start Gnome services.  I 
forget the reason but I was having a problem with Nautilus running 
unwanted.  File-Roller is the only Gnome app I run and it manages well 
enough without Gnome services.
