Well, after some research...

GNOME (gnome-session):

Show:
It shows autostart entries in /etc/xdg/autostart and in $HOME/.config/autostart.
It does not show entries with "Hidden=true", "NotShowIn=gnome" or "OnlyShowIn=kde".

Enable/Disable (user):
It sets "X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled" flag true or false.

Enable/Disable (system):
It creates a user desktop file with "X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled" flag.

Delete (user):
It deletes the desktop file.

Delete (system):
It creates a user desktop file with "Hidden=true".

KDE (systemsettings):

Show:
It only shows autostart entries in $HOME/.config/autostart.
It shows entries with "Hidden=true" or "OnlyShowIn=gnome" (but it does not exec them).

Enable/Disable (user):
It sets "Hidden" flag true or false.

Delete (user):
It deletes the desktop file.

I like gnome-sessions behavior, but obviously "X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled" flag should be standardized.
This is a very annoying bug and i am sure every people would like to see similar behavior in both programs. I can't do much more with this. Thanks for reading.
