No, but it isn't nice for a user to start Ardour from the menu (without starting a jackd), and be booted out. One slashdot user thought Ardour was buggy/badly packaged because of this, and switched distributions ... Can you not have the ardour menu entry run a script that checks if a jackd is running (even via pgrep if necessary), and if not, tell the user they need to run one? (I can write one for you, if you will fix zenity for me ;-)). > Seriously.
