for a gnome session, gnome-session will run what's defined in
/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session, i.e.
RequiredComponents=org.gnome.Shell;gnome-settings-daemon;

And then it will start all applications from /etc/xdg/autostart and
/usr/share/gnome/autostart/.

So no, gnome-session doesn't start nemo directly unless it was asked so
by nemo, in which case this would be a bug in nemo, I guess.

But I have no idea how nemo is started, tbh, which is why I think you
need to talk to the nemo maintainers.
