There's yet another option: start your jack-enabled application as a
qjackctl command line argument, `qjackctl <your-app>`. This way, qjackctl
will show up and start jackd automagically before launching <your-app> in
turn. If jackd is found already running, it will just launch <your-app>
and exit graciously.

AFAICT this feature has been in effect as far the planetccrma desktop
menus goes on all jack applications, after some kind request from
Fernando's.

Cheers.
