What's really annoying is that they continue to write to stdout when they are backgrounded or even after they exit. I guess they fork some other process which does the writing... seems like a bug to me.

This should only occur for applications which are designed to be unique
(that is, only one running instance at a time), as a side-effect of the
implementation.

And they don't write to stdout after exit, that's the rest of KDE, the
things like running kioslaves and the DCOP server for example.
