Yes, you can do the following in your AppVM:

1) make the directory /home/user/.config/autostart if it doesn't already exist

2) add a file inside that directory called (e.g) thunderbird.desktop that 
contains the following lines

[Desktop Entry]
Name=thunderbird
Exec=thunderbird
Type=Application

Reboot your AppVM and Thunderbird should start. Rinse and repeat for any other 
app.

The reason this works is that the autostart files are processed *after* the 
user's X session has started up.

Cheers
