Dbus and X11 should not be related. Except that both the 'session'
dbus and X11 are probably launched by the same entity: the *DM
login manager. And I assume that Jack2 Dbus means 'session' bus,
and not the 'system' one. On a system without a graphical login
(as the OP is probably using) there may not be a 'session' dbus
at all. 

I'll be optimistic and assume that jack2 really doesn't *need*
dbus even if it's capable of using it. Maybe I'm too optimistic. 
Even if I've seen too much 'desktop', 'session', 'seat' and
whatever other nonsense creeping into a what should be a basic
system.
