I am confused: do you mean select "connection" from the QJC tray-icon.
This will toggle the connection window. it it was displayed on a
different workspace it will disappear there.

I can not reproduce this here.
gnome-workspace-switcher 2.14.3 always show qjackctl windows.

unless when i enable the QJC setting "keep child windows always on top".
then no QJC window is registered with gnome-taskbar, window-selector,
etc. if I minimize all others, I can access (and resize) them.

Turning this QJC option off, and everything works just fine with gnome.

I'm not yet an Aqualung user so I can't tell.

There's some magic that can be configured in the gnome-workspace
switcher and global settings in gconf but I don't know about those.
Applications can override setting too (xmms for example can become
"always on top" - and "always on visible workspace" using some window
manager protocol)

I guess most parts are common, but some issue evolve when upgrading
software + mixing with old config files etc.
