I'm routinely running audio systems consisting of more than
one machine, with usually all but one headless. And occasionally
I want to manually verify/modify jack connections on the remote
machines. So running 'ssh -X somehost qjacktl' is expected to
work, as it should for any X11 app, and must not depend on
conditions that don't matter.

If you want to avoid having two instances of qjackctl on
the same jack server (why, it should just work), then
checking for existing windows clearly is the wrong way
to do it. No X11 app should ever care where its display
is located physically and which other windows exist on
it. Being on the same display doesn't imply anything
about the location of the application itself.
