qjackctl >= 0.3.7 will only get full jack-session support *iif* it was 
ever built against libjack-dev-0.120.0 providing the necessary 
"jack/session.h" header.

otherwise, it's all just a dumbed-down patchbay alternative. as is, it 
only saves and loads for existing client connections--eventually, it may 
succeed and those "red crosses" will disapeer, one after another.

please read your qjackctl/about box whether there's a "JACK Session 
support disabled" written in red. that should say it all

cheers
