Can't get rid of component on startpage

I have tried to disable the GTranslate plug-in as you mentioned that this was most likely where the problem was.
You were unfortunately right... This makes this a very unpleasant issue as I have to use the GTranslate and also Mobile Joomla... aaargh.. WHat can I do to solve this?
I have asked the GTranslate team for a solution as well and I suppose I'm not the only one in the world that will use both MJ and GTranslate Pro on a J2.5 site so it might be kinda interesting to get this solved.

Let me shortly explain the reason of such a conflict (for other readers).

Mobile Joomla detects home page by analyzing of global $_GET array that contains parameters from URL (and parameters from parsed SEF URL). In the case of homepage it's either empty, or contains parameters of home menu item only.

But GTranslate plugin pollute this array with a lot of additional parameters (api_key, bing_api_key, cache_time, ssl_verify_peer, auto_detect, auto_detect_user, main_lang, and debug_mode). As a result, MJ cannot detect homepage correctly.

The only solution here is to patch plugins/system/mobilebot.php (because of GTranslade is crypted by ionCube) by adding

unset($current['api_key']);
unset($current['bing_api_key']);
unset($current['cache_time']);
unset($current['ssl_verify_peer']);
unset($current['auto_detect']);
unset($current['auto_detect_user']);
unset($current['main_lang']);
unset($current['debug_mode']);

after

$current = $_GET;

And unlikely this patch will be included into official MJ release, so you should apply it after each MJ update.
