My first question would be: Do you need jack? If you are doing mostly
pulse stuff (or all) then you will get better use of just pulse. If you
must have jack for your sound IF to work (fire wire for example) then I
would suggest a script when the user logs in that starts jack.
Note: I have an interest in what the workflow(s) are that you are doing
that requires this configuration, because I help with Ubuntustudio and
would like it to handle as many things as it can right out of the box. Or
with minimal setup anyway.

Gnome 2 is dead (well at least no longer supported) so the next best thing
would be xfce. (which is what ubuntustudio uses these days) It should not
be too hard to install Kxstudio and add xfce either directly or by
installing installing xubuntu-desktop (I think) or ubuntustudio-desktop.
Then at login (in lightdm) select the xfce session. I am not sure which DE
Kxstudio uses, but if they are using gnome3 you may be able to just
install xfce-panel and mess with what gnome starts at the beginning of
session... but that would be for advanced users :)
