Using gentoo, jackdbus and qjackctl from their source repositories, I
noticed than when updating jack, qjackctl can loose control on jack
if I don't update it at the same time. I also noticed than, to update
both software at the same time is not always enough for qjackctl to
keep control over jack. In that case, the only cure is to remove all the
jack/qjackctl config files in $HOME. It would be great if qjackctl
could be able to do that by itself.
Best,
Dominique
