The only assumption is that you should be able to run two instances of the same app at the same time on the same machine within the same x session. There are lots of apps that don't allow this. Instead they allow for multiple windows but they are all running of the same instance. In this case qjackctl appears to do neither unless you set the correct settings in the env var or the just added commandline switch. Although according to Fons this behaviour is new and in the past it was not necessary to do either. I guess that firefox doesn't let you start an instance over the tunnel and then open a window on the local desktop too? Cheers.
