Nemo includes an /usr/share/applications/nemo-autostart.desktop file with:
 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 Name=Nemo
 Comment=Start Nemo desktop at log in
 Exec=nemo -n
 OnlyShowIn=X-Cinnamon;
 AutostartCondition=GSettings org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons
 NoDisplay=true

I would expect the OnlyShowIn=X-Cinnamon to prevent it to be started in GNOME.
If that's not the case then, do you know of a way to avoid this (even in the 
case of enabling show-desktop-icons for nemo and nautilus)?

Happy hacking,
