solved on svn trunk (qjackctl 0.3.7.8): now the command line server
start option (--start) is now independent of the configuration setup
option (Setup/Misc/Start JACK audio server on application startup).

oh, now i get it. problem is, qjackctl doesn't make a distinction
whether you're closing the main window by clicking on the window manager
decoration [x] button or your desktop environment is being shutdown or
logging off. when the system tray icon is enabled, closing the main
window will just get it minimized, if not already.

i guess this issue cannot be solved right away. it would, if one could
distinguish a normal window-close from a desktop-shutdown, but there's
none from plain qt4. if it makes you happier, it also applies to kde :)

anyway, if and when that happens, you can be sure that requesting
desktop-shutdown a second time will work (qjackctl main window will be
minimized by that time:)
