Xfce autostart apps starting up in other sessions too....

Hullo there.
I have Xfce, KDEmod as DEs and Fluxbox/Openbox as WMs on my Arch setup.I mostly use Xfce for all my work, So I have all sorts of fancy apps like Compiz, AWN added to Xfce autostarted apps list.Now, the glitch is these apps autostart in other KDEmod/Fluxbox/Openbox sessions too which I don't want.So, how do I configure Xfce autostart apps to autostart ONLY in Xfce.?

start everything. Save session (when loggingout/reboot/shutdown) and then make xfce startup with that session. Maybe works.(somewhere in xfce setting manager)

Does not work.Compiz and AWN don't start up with that method.
Still looking for solution..

Use this line in the .desktop file used for the autostart:

OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
