As I said, I substituted /usr/local/bin/jackd with some shell script to
catch the calls, log its arguments and check with shell commands the PID and the process
chain. The calls of '/usr/local/bin/jackd -l' are coming down from:

/usr/local/bin/knotify4

on start of the desktop via 'startx' and from

/usr/local/bin/kbiff

when mail arrives to the mbox.
