Just a guess, I haven't looked at the source:

Probably all those "use one app only per X-session" check with the X-session 
whether an instance by that name is already running. If yes, they just make it 
focus, otherwise the app is started.

As with "ssh -X" or "ssh -Y" (later is more secure) the X-session of your 
local machine is accessible from the remote machine, the remote qjackctl 
checks whether an app named qjackctl is running and quits itself again...

Running multiple qjackctl instances is probably difficult at least when using 
the systray icon.

Have fun,

Arnold
