I've had this problem in the past, but it seems to have resolved
itself to some extent with newer versions of (I would guess) the
gnome-core module.  The problem with several copies at startup can be
caused if you started gstripchart, and them supplied both a title and
an command in the "Create swallowed applet" window.  This would (as
near as I can tell) launch a new copy of the running app, then swallow
one app while leaving the other copy running.

I'm working on adding a --type=applet option to gstripchart as the
long-term, correct solution to this problem.  I hope this helps you
work around the symptoms in the mean while.
