About which .desktop files are you talking? Those in
/usr/share/applications/ (and other similar paths) or those in
~/.config/autostart?

You could try to add NotShowIn=XFCE or OnlyShowIn=GNOME in those files
you do not want to start in Xfce or only want to start in GNOME (note,
that there's a difference between those two variants).

I'm not sure if this feature is implemented in our autostart support.

IMHO, keys starting with X-GNOME are irrelevant for Xfce. They're
vendor/application specific keys which other vendors/applications should
not care about. How would you expect Xfce to treat this
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled key? I mean, that the app is marked for
autostart in GNOME doesn't always mean that it should be ignored in
Xfce, right?
