I wonder if there are two copies of Jack on the system, sort of a
/usr/bin and a /usr/local/bin. I've had that happena few times when I
forgot to explicitly set a path building code by hand.

I agree with Rui's comments. If Jack is set up correctly on my system
I've never had qjackctl do anything other than use what I put in the
settings box and show it to me in the message window.
