I have just come across a fantastic new application for linux users called Ladish. It works as a session manager and frontend for JACK and allows users to open and connect multiple JACK applications, and then save the configuration so that it can be reopened at any time. I've been using it for a couple of days and it is working wonderfully for me. In my opinion, this application fills a pretty big hole in my Linux music studio. It started as a fork of 'LASH' and is already much more useful.
Check it out! This project needs support!
