Additional comments: KDE has a 'private' autostart directory, ~/.kde/Autostart . GNOME does not.

The OnlyShowIn keyword can be used; in the context of autostart it will make the app only start in a particular DE. OnlyShowIn=KDE will make it only autostart in KDE, OnlyShowIn=GNOME will make it only autostart in GNOME.

So all the bits are there for both KDE and GNOME to behave sensibly by default and to present a simple interface to configure this.

IMHO, by default, when you set an app to autostart in either KDE or GNOME, it should be set to *only* autostart in that environment. I think that's the behavior most users expect.
