I know that AS-1.4.5.3 does this. I don't recall why though. (I'm the maintainer and you'd think I'd know...). I do recall that it results from starting up things from the menus rather than from a prompt. I also that you can get rid of them by restarting AS (just use the "restart AfterStep" button - I _think_ that works - you may need to logout). I'd tell you more but I'm running AS-1.0 here at work.
