I think it's in Hildon-Desktop, although you have to look through the
source to extract the meaning of each field:

$ git grep 'X-Maemo'
[...]
src/launcher/hd-launcher-app.c:#define HD_DESKTOP_ENTRY_PRESTART_MODE
"X-Maemo-Prestarted"
src/launcher/hd-launcher-app.c:#define HD_DESKTOP_ENTRY_WM_CLASS
"X-Maemo-Wm-Class"
src/launcher/hd-launcher-app.c:#define HD_DESKTOP_ENTRY_PRIORITY
"X-Maemo-Prestarted-Priority"
src/launcher/hd-launcher-app.c:#define HD_DESKTOP_ENTRY_SWITCHER_ICON
"X-Maemo-Switcher-Icon"
src/launcher/hd-launcher-app.c:#define HD_DESKTOP_ENTRY_IGNORE_LOWMEM
"X-Maemo-Ignore-Lowmem"
src/launcher/hd-launcher-app.c:#define HD_DESKTOP_ENTRY_IGNORE_LOAD
"X-Maemo-Prestarted-Ignore-Load"

HTH.
