For example. True scenario. I killed all currently running applications with ATK. I press the power button turning off my screen and put my EVO in my pocket.10 minutes later I pull it out and hit the power button. I open gmail and see that I have1 email, I read it, back out of everything back to my home screen. I then open ATK and see that I now have 7 apps running! At least 2-3 of them I never use at all.

Any explanations?

Is it only ATK that says they are running? Maybe it is a false report.
