There's a flag in the Jack API that an application can pass to control
automatic starting of the server if it isn't running. It's not
related to dbus at all. I remember experimenting with this a while
ago and having difficulty getting it to pick the right configuration.

From the docs it looks like there's an environment variable that can
override Renoise's default behaviour.

Best wishes,

Neil
