I've had this kind of thing happen when starting KDE. The culprit is generally that since your entire network is down, your loopback network address (lo) is down as well. KDE apparently needed that up, and would time out on some time of network access if it wasn't. Perhaps this is what's happening with gkrellm as well. Instead of just disabling the entire network daemon, leave the network daemon enabled in rc.conf, and just disable the eth0 and ppp0 interfaces. Hopefully should solve the problem.
