I encountered a similar situation just last week when I started moving
my projects to the Workbench. My workbench does not have a startup file.
(In fact, I couldn't find where or how one could define it in the
workbench properties.) However, every time I started IDL, there were
"Compiled" messages that I knew were related to the startup file I was
using before I started using the Workbench.

It turns out that when I installed 7.0 over an existing 6.4, the
installation "remembered" the name of the old startup file via a system
variable (IDL_STARTUP) inside a file named

C:\Users\Ordonez\.idl\itt\pref-10-idl_7_0-windows\idl.pref

I think this was part of the "pref_migrate" that I thought blew by too
quickly when I installed 7.0. Commenting out the appropriate line (one
that starts with IDL_STARTUP) solved the problem. According to the
pref_migrate documentation, it isn't run automatically when IDL 7.0 is
run for the first time. But I definitely don't remember manually running
it at all.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I haven't had time to check this out in Linux.
